Fake purchase
He said Mr. Nagangaudar had allegedly used a bill book belonging to a local firm to make the invoices in which he showed fake purchase of some electrical equipment for Navy.
Mr. Paul said the bill book was made available to the accused by an Indore-based Chartered Account Ramratan Singhal.
After taking voluntary retirement from Navy where he had worked in Electrical Department, Mr. Nagangauda set up a business of supplying electrical parts to Navy.-PTI
