PANJIM: The Goa Human Rights Commission (GHRC) will on Monday hear the complaint filed over the alleged 51 lakh food scam at the BRICS Summit held in Goa last year. The complaint filed by Adv Aries Rodrigues would be heard by a bench comprising of A D Salkar and J A Keny.
By an order dated October 18, 2016, the GHRC had directed the government that no payments be released to the caterer pending inquiry into the entire episode.
In his complaint, Rodrigues had submitted that the contract for a whopping Rs 51,60,000 was given to Amonkar Classic Caterers for supply of food to police personnel posted on duty for the BRICS summit, but that the contract was sub-let to a road side contractor who clandestinely prepared the food in an open place.
