The government has terminated ES Ranganathan from the position of Director (Marketing) of GAIL (India) Ltd and repatriated him as executive director of the company. He will be paid three months’ salary in lieu of the notice period and his consequent repatriation to the post of executive director within the lien period.
Ranganathan was arrested in January by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for allegedly taking bribes to give discounts to some private companies on the petrochemical products that GAIL sold to them. Following this, he was placed under suspension and got bail in March.
In the FIR, the CBI said that it conducted raids at eight locations, including Ranganathan’s Noida residence and his office, and recovered Rs 1.29 crore in cash, gold jewellery and other valuables. Along with Ranganathan, the CBI has also arrested four other individuals in connection to the case.
GAIL said it has received a communication from the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas conveying the decision of the Appointment Committee of the Cabinet (ACC) for premature termination of the tenure of Shri ES Ranganathan from the post of Director (Marketing), GAIL (India) Ltd with immediate effect.
