I have filed copies of internal GE documents and other documentary evidence establishing fraud, corruption, bribery and forgery.

I have asked the Court to direct investigation of my whistle-blower complaints and to direct that General Electric be disqualified from the Diesel and Electric Locomotive tenders and be blacklisted for tender fraud and corruption in accordance with law.

I have asked the Court to direct that I be provided full protection and be immediately relocated to a safe house.

I have asked the Court to direct that the complaints made by me to the Police about attacks against my body and person, (including my having been drugged, poisoned and exposed to toxic substances) and about damage to my property and home and about threats and intimidation be investigated in accordance with law

I found my car tyre punctured when I came out of Court. Given that nothing that has happened to me over the last year and a half has been a coincidence, I can only wonder if my car tyre was intentionally punctured.

Update February 25, 2012 at 20:31 pm:

I returned home and at present once again some gas/ fumes/ toxic substance is being introduced into my home.

For the last few days I have been personally covering my car with a car cover when I park it for the night. I covered my car yesterday evening as well and parked it behind my house in an area that is locked at night and supposedly has a security guard (who has been used to target me). This morning I found the cover had been removed. Clearly the message being sent to me is that the targeting and harassment will continue.

I was followed today again. This was made obvious to me.

Dear Judge Loretta A. Preska,

I write to bring to your attention a whistle-blower complaint that I made to General Electric stating that facts relevant to GE shareholder lawsuits filed/ pending in the New York District Court, SDNY had been supressed. I am an attorney based in New Delhi and my life is in danger because of this and other compliance violations I reported.

General Electric attorneys and two Gibson Dunn attorneys covered up the suppression/ tampering of evidence I reported. I brought the matter to the attention of the SEC and the Department of Justice. I brought the matter to the attention of the Plaintiffs’ attorneys. I sent documents to Berman DeValerio. I made General Electric aware of my having contacted the Plaintiffs attorneys. Berman DeValerio then broke off contact with me.

On January 5, 2012, I contacted (via email) attorneys including Mr. Greg Danilow representing General Electric. On January 12, 2012 (late evening IST and forenoon EST) I called and spoke with Mr. Ron Keating from Berman Devalerio. He told me that Judge Richard J. Holwell had reserved his decision on GE’s motions to dismiss. I then called and asked to speak with Mr. Brackett Denniston and with Mr. Greg Danilow. I was unable to speak to either. Therafter I called the Deputy to Judge Richard J. Holwell in the forenoon of July 12, 2012. I told Mr. William Donald and Mr. Brett Kaufman that I needed to provide information to the Judge about obstruction of justice and evidence tampering concerning the lawsuits against General Electric. I was asked to send this message on fax. I stated that I could only do this the next day and asked for an email I could send the information to. I was not provided an email contact by Mr. Brett Kaufman on January 12, 2012.

I spoke to Mr. William Donald again in the forenoon of January 13, 2012. He gave me email contacts and I sent a message for Judge Richard J. Holwell on these emails on January 13, 2012. Thereafter I followed up with other emails providing more information and supporting documents.

I have not heard back from anyone on these emails. I called Judge Richard Holwell’s chambers on January 17, 2012 and spoke to Ms. Yuan Ji. She informed me that Judge Holwell had been given my emails.

I find it surprising that Judge Richard J. Holwell pronouned his decision and order on General Electric’s motion to dismiss the very day I contacted his office. I spoke to Mr. William Donald and Mr,. Brett Kaufman in the forenoon of January 12, 2012. I also spoke to Mr. Ron Keating of Berman DeValerio just before that. No one told me that the matter was listed for pronouncement of the decision. I do not believe that the pronouncement of the order by Judge Holwell in the afternoon of January 12, 2012 was a coincidence. I am certain the record will show that a decision was made to pronounce this order after and because of my having contacted Judge Holwell’s Court. This was done so that the Judge would not have to consider the information I wanted to provide in writing. Judge Howell appears to have dismissed some claims.

The information that I have provided about facts relevant to these shareholder class-action lawsuits would have impacted the order pronounced by Judge Holwell. This information would have provided documentary evidence in support of the claims that Judge Holwell has dismissed on January 12, 2012. Further, this information demonstrates culpability of GE attorneys and supports my complaint of suppression of evidence, evidence tampering and obstruction of justice.

I also point out that the Plaintiffs’ attorneys I contacted and shared detailed information with had an obligation to use this information in support of shareholder claims as these are class-action lawsuits. By withholding this information from the Court, these attorneys breached their ethical and professional responsibility. In addition, my life was placed in danger by withholding witness protection from me.

Judge Richard Holwell has recently stepped down from the bench. Once again, this is not a coincidence. I state that evidence will show that this decision was made by Judge Holwell because of the emails I sent him and also posted on the internet.

Judge Holwell’s actions were motivated and intended to favour General Electric and keep the grave charges I have made against General Electric off the judicial record. These actions violate the rights of GE shareholders whose claims have been dismissed.

I face a grave threat to my life in India. I will provide emails sent to Judge Holwell, emails sent to Plaintiffs’ attorneys and to GE’s attorneys. I have uploaded these emails on my blog at http://indiainthewto.wordpress.com/2012/01/21/my-letter-to-judge-richard-j-holwell-on-my-complaint-about-evidence-tampering-and-obstruction-of-justice-by-general-electric-in-connection-with-ge-investor-law-suits-filed-in-his-court-3/

Update February 18, 2012 at 21.56:
I just returned home after five hours and was feeling perfectly well outside. Yet inside my house, my eyes are watery. There is some gas being introduced into my home. It was introduced last night as well. I woke up with a headache and with watery eyes and dizziness.

Update February 12, 2012 at 20.54 pm:
Yet again some kind of gas is being introduced into my home to poison me. This is giving me headaches and is making my eyes heavy.
I did not have these symptoms when I was outside. There is material evidence that proves my house has been rigged to facilitate the introduction of toxic substances.
My car was again tampered with last night. Some kind of sticky substance was smeared on the steering-wheel. This has happened earlier as well.

Please read about the compliance violations at General Electric that I reported here.

Update February 11, 2012 at 22.42:
Some toxic gas continues to be introduced into my home. This has been going on all day and is going on at present. The levels are enough to cause headaches and respiratory symptoms.

I have uploaded police complaints and the responses received from the Police Commissioner, New Delhi – Mr. B K Gupta

Update: February 11, 2012 at 12.12 pm:
Some gas/ fumes are being introduced into my home intermittently. This is happening today as well and it happened yesterday. I am getting headaches and my eyes are getting affected. The evidence that my house has been rigged to allow introduction of toxic substances is available.
My car has also been tampered with sometime in the last few days. Both yesterday and the day before, I noticed that the steering wheel appeared wobbly and the car seemed to have unusual acceleration. 

Update – February 9, 2012 at 15.04 pm

I have today sent the following message to Mr. Brackett Denniston, General Counsel at General Electric:

Mr. Brackett Denniston,

Some gas is being introduced into my home today. When I was outside I felt fine, but inside my house my eyes and head start to feel heavy.

I have evidence that my house has been rigged to introduce toxic substances.

I again request that General Electric remove me from my present residence to a secure location. I also request that General Electric arrange for a toxicology medical check-up and arrange to provide me medical treatment for organ and physiological damage caused because of deliberate exposure to toxic substances with intent to cause injury.

Please convey this message to the Board of Directors of General Electric.

Seema Sapra

Update – February 7, 2012 at 23.54
Today i.e., February 7, 2012, some gas was again being introduced into my home intermittently throughout the day and evening. I could smell it. This has resulted in coughing with phlegm. Plus it was affecting my eyes and making me dizzy and light-headed. These symptoms were accompanied with a warm flush as well.
Toxic substances continue to be introduced into my home.

I am an attorney in India who worked with General Electric in 2010 and made several whistle-blower complaints. I have been repeatedly drugged over the last year and a half and attempts have been made and are still being made to poison me. Please read posts below. My house has been rigged and toxic substances including pesticides, chemical fumes and gases like nitrous oxide have been introduced into my home.

I came across documentary evidence of the involvement of this Indian Railways official, Mr. Shakeel Ahmed in a reference to him in an internal GE email sent by GE executive Pratyush (Prat) Kumar. This email can be found here.

My complaint sent to General Electric’s General Counsel, Mr. Brackett Denniston on May 30, 2011 has not been investigated. I have set out this complaint below:

Subject: additional evidence of GE corruption
Dear Mr. Denniston/ Mr. Dimitrief,
I would like to place on record more instances of corrupt and illegal acts/
conduct that I discovered as a result of my employment at GE.
GE employees corruptly obtained advice and assistance from a Railways
Ministry official/ advisor Mr. Shakeel Ahmed during GE’s diesel locomotive
bid in 2008-2009.
I was on a call with Steve Seip and Jamie (James) Winget (both from Eire)
towards the end of June 2010. We were discussing certain changes that I had
suggested to the technical prequalification documents for the diesel
locomotive RFQ that was being prepared. Steve Seip opposed my changes and
one of his grounds was that what had been prepared was based upon the
precedent of what had been submitted in 2008. I disagreed with the draft and
based my reasoning on my interpretation of the RFQ guidelines. I was able to
convince Jamie about my suggestions and he agreed that we would make those
changes.
Steve Seip then told us that the RFQ that was prepared last time in 2008 had
been vetted by Mr. Shakeel Ahmed. He described the procedure followed. He
told us that each document contained in GE’s 2008 RFQ was after drafting,
first sent to Mr. Shakeel Ahmed for his approval and was included in the RFQ
only after such approval.
This kind of consultation with and assistance from Mr. Shakeel Ahmed who was
directly involved in the tender process for the Authority or the Railway
Board was a corrupt and undesirable practice under the RFQ and would have
rendered GE for disqualification and blacklisting.
GE’s corrupt access to and use of Mr. Shakeel Ahmed in 2008-2009 is also
recorded in an email dated July 12, 2010 sent by Prat Kumar to a number of
persons. The subject of the email was ‘Draft Workplan for India D-Loco bid’.
The persons addressed included Kevin Randall, James Winget, Deepak Adlakha,
Lorenzo Simonelli, Tara Plimpton, John Flannery, Karan Bhatia and Richard
Herold among many others.
Page 2 of the attachment to this email stated "No focal point in mechanical:
Missing Shakeel".

Update – Feb 5, 2012 at 10.30 pm:

Some gas has been introduced in my home both yesterday and today evening. This is continuing as of now. There is no strong smell, however it is making my eyes water and heavy and making me cough with phlegm discharge. It is causing a mild headache and seems to have induced some kind of muscle relaxant effect as the coughing is accompanied by momentary urinary incontinence.

I had these same symptoms in January and February of 2011. I suspect the gas is nitrous oxide.

Today afternoon, I saw Rajdeep Singh (who I have accused of being involved in introducing toxic substances into my home) inside the door to the second floor flat above my home. It appears that he has been present on the second floor the entire weekend.

Update – Feb 3, 2012 at 9.52 am:
It appears that last night some toxic gas was again introduced into my home when I was asleep. I woke up today as if waking up from a drugged sleep. Plus my eyelids were all swollen and bloated.
There was a faint smell of a sweet smelling gas in my home the day before yesterday in the evening. My eyelids were swollen even when I woke up yesterday morning.
I have started to visit the Delhi High Court for the last three days. It appears that the introduction of these gases at night while I am asleep is a response to my going to Court.

Update
Last evening (February 1, 2012), there was a faint smell of a sweet-smelling gas in my home. I have complained earlier that nitrous oxide was being introduced into my home.

Update – January 31, 2012 at 9.20 pm:
The same chemical that I can smell in one room of my house since waking up this morning is also present in my car. I have reported earlier that someone was throwing some dust both on and inside my car when it is parked outside my house at night.
Today, the car was again covered with a heavy coating of dust. Plus there was dust inside in unnatural quantities.
I had my car cleaned day before yesterday. Yesterday, the car was still clean.
I have sent pictures of the car that I clicked today to the Police. The amount of dust visible cannot gather overnight. There has been no dust-storm. Plus there was minimal dust on the back of the car. Also, the dust was not evenly spread. In some places it was denser. Clearly someone is opening my car at night, adding some chemicals/ toxic dust and then attempting to cover that up by spreading dust all over the car.
This chemical that I inhaled in my car and home today is causing respiratory symptoms.

Update – January 31, 2012

An unpleasant chemical is being released into my house now. I can smell it for the past half hour. At present it is 8 am.

Update:  It is now 10.20 am and the unpleasant smelling chemical is still being introduced into my home since the early morning.

Update – January 30, 2012 at 8.40 pm

It is almost 8.40 pm and for the last half hour some chemical fumes are again being introduced into my house. These are causing throat irritation and a warm red rash on the face and ears.

Update – January 28, 2012 at 8.30 pm:

Some chemical fumes or gas are again being introduced into my house since the last one hour.
Earlier today, I smelt chemicals in my car again.
These chemicals are making me sick.

Mr. Brackett Denniston,

I have requested more than once to speak to you. My life is in danger because of the compliance violation and corruption complaints I made about General Electric. I have been drugged over the last year and a half. My food and water has been poisoned. Toxic chemicals have been introduced into my car and my home. My clothes and belongings have been sprayed with pesticides. Toxic gases Including nitrous oxide and chemical fumes have been and continue to be introduced in my house. My lungs are being poisoned.

General Electric needs to remove me from my house and relocate me to a safe location. In August 2011, I asked the Police to give me protection and a safe home. Instead of being protected, I was assaulted and physically removed from the Police headquarters. The police them attempted to drug me.

General Electric needs to provide medical treatment for biological/ organ damage caused to me because of this poisoning. In August 2011, doctors at two hospitals in Delhi threatened me, covered up my medical symptoms and denied me treatment.

2009 securities fraud, evidence-tampering and obstruction of justice

I complained that GE employees engaged in criminal conduct amounting to obstruction of justice under US federal statute and tampered with evidence about events that occurred in February 2009. These facts and this evidence are relevant to the cases filed by GE investors before the United States District Court, Southern District of New York.

I complained that material information regarding GE’s failed bid for a multi-billion dollar tender for an Indian Railways project for manufacture and sale of diesel locomotives was not disclosed to GE investors in February 2009. This information was capable of influencing share-prices and thus relevant to the shareholder lawsuits filed in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York. I further complained that once these lawsuits were filed in 2009, GE employees tampered with the evidence establishing knowledge of this failed bid by GE officers including Mr.Jeffrey Immelt, Mr. John Rice and Mr. Lorenzo Simonelli. I pointed out to GE that evidence showed that offences amounting to obstruction of justice have been committed. Tampering of evidence, asking employees to lie, suppression/ destruction of evidence and creation of a misleading record to influence a United States Federal Court proceeding would amount to US federal offences and obstruction of justice under US federal statutes.

Among other evidence of what happened around GE’s failed bid in February 2009, I have seen an email sent by GE Transportation employee Mr. Brett Begole to Mr. John Rice and Mr. Karan Bhatia (another GE lawyer) in February 2009 suggesting that a news report from February 2009 that had hinted at GE’s difficulties with the bid be either allowed to die a natural death or that senior Government of India officials (Dr. Montek Singh Ahluwalia and Mr. Ronen Sen, the then Indian Ambassador in Washington) be spoken to. This email was shown to me by Mr. Jeffrey Eglash in New Delhi in late 2010 when he met me during a compliance investigation. This email was in a folder compiled by Mr. F Joseph Warin and Mr. John Chesley from Gibson Dunn. This email is suggestive of corruption and demonstrates why GE officers, attorneys and employees might have wanted to prevent their documentary record pertaining to the failed February 2009 bid from being scrutinized by a United States Federal Court.

For more on this complaint and supporting documents, read here.

GE tampered with Kazakhstan Railways customer certificate filed in Indian Locomotive tender

I complained that GE employees illegally and without authorisation “forward-dated” an undated customer certificate issued by Kazakhstan Railways and submitted this tampered/ forged document to the Indian Railways as part of GE’s request for prequalification for a multi-billion dollar locomotives tender. GE was subsequently prequalified for this tender on the basis of this unauthentic document.

For more on this complaint and supporting documents, read here.

Foreign Corrupt Practices Act violations through suspicious third party contractor – Aartech Consultants

I complained that a third party contract between General Electric and an entity called Aartech Consultants India Private Limited was being used to pay bribes to Indian government officials. I pointed out several red flags that call for an investigation.

For more on this complaint and supporting documents, read here.

Prohibited engagement by GE in 2010 of Indian Railways advisor amounting to corrupt practice in Indian locomotives tender

I complained that GE in 2010 had engaged the services of Mr. Vinod Sharma, a former Indian Railways official and advisor, and this was expressly prohibited by the tender documents and amounted to a corrupt practice that would disqualify and blacklist General Electric.

Prohibited contact between GE and an Indian Railways official, Mr. Shakeel Ahmad in 2008-2009

I complained that an Indian Railways official, Mr. Shakeel Ahmad was helping GE to prepare its bid documents for a multi-billion dollar locomotives tender in 2008-2009. This amounted to a corrupt practice as defined in the tender documents.

For more and supporting documents, read here.

Prohibited contact in 2010 between a team of McKinsey consultants engaged by GE and Indian Railways officials

I complained that towards the end of May 2010 and the first two weeks of June 2010, GE engaged a team of McKinsey consultants who were working out of GE’s office in New Delhi. These consultants and GE executives had extensive meetings with Indian Railways officials during this time. GE used these consultants to lobby for changes to the bidding documents for the diesel and electric locomotive tenders of the Indian Railways. Such contact with Indian Railways officials and lobbying was expressly prohibited under the tender documents and amounted to a corrupt practice. GE executives in Erie including Mr. Lorenzo Simonelli and Ms. Tara Plimpton as well as Mr. John Flannery were aware of these meetings between the McKinsey consultants and the Indian Railways officials. They were regularly briefed on conference calls by the McKinsey team about this lobbying.

Dear Madam/ Sir,

Please find attached internet search results for Aartech Consultants, the independent third party contractor that GE Transportation India was using to liaise with the Indian Railways. Aartech Consultants shows up in search results as a recruitment agency.

I emailed about Aartech Consultants on 10 June 2011. (Before I sent my email, I googled “Aartech Consultants”and all the search results described it as a recruitment firm.) When I googled Aartech Consultants again on 13 June, the “recruitment” links did not show up. However, they still show up if you do not enter the full name. Instead there were 3-4 results that now describe Aartech as a business consultancy. Screen shots of these internet search results are attached.

The representative from Aartech Consultants who visited the GE office was Mr. Inderjeet Singh. He does not seem to hold any special qualifications that might have qualified him to provide any consulting services to GE. Plus he seems to be the sole representative and employee.

Thank you,

Subject: Concerns about Aartech Consultants and FCPA

Mr. Denniston/ Mr. Dimitrief,

I want to place on record my concerns about a third party contractor that GE Transportation India was using, an entity called Aartech Consultants. I shared this concern with Mr. Eglash when I spoke with him on 29 November 2010. I asked Mr. Eglash – what did this consultant do for GE? Unsurprisingly, Mr. Dimitrief’s letter of 3 February 2011 does not mention Aartech Consultants.

I first learnt about Aartech Consultants when in June 2010, I received an email asking me to review the documentation for Aartech’s ITP (Independent Third Party) contract that was up for renewal. I reviewed it and found there were reputational red flags that had been identified. Plus Aartech’s application was old and the answers to certain questions were unclear or potentially wrong. I spoke to Himali Arora, the CFO about this. She then pointed out that Aartech had a networth of approx. Rs. 30,000 which was also odd. I discussed the matter with Himali Arora and Ashwani Bhargava, who was handling compliance and was based in Bangalore. I then declined to approve the renewal unless these matters were reviewed and addressed.

The Aartech Consultants representative was one Sikh gentleman who visited the AIFACS office. I was never introduced to him and never spoke with him. On different occasions, I saw him sitting with Prat Kumar, Ash Nainar and Himali Arora. Plus he seemed to know most other GE Transportation employees at AIFACS well.

There is a very distinct possibility that Aartech Consultants was being used to make illegal payments to Indian Railway officials.

I was told by Anand Chidambaram in August that Aartech Consultants had good contacts within the Indian Railways and helped GE move files within the Indian Railways. I was also told that Aartech got a commission of 5% on every deal.

I fail to understand why GE would need an external contractor to help move files in the Indian Railways. GE Transportation India had sufficient human resources to undertake all legitimate interactions with the Indian Railways in GE’s business dealings and tender applications. What services did Aartech Consultants provide?

Even though Aartech Consultants’ contract renewal with GE did not go through in June 2010, the gentleman in question still visited AIFACS. I was told by Ashish Malhotra in August 2010 that despite the non-renewal of Aartech’s contract, GE documentation still showed that Aartech was being paid 5% commission for the turbocharger tender that GE had won. GE was having internal compliance problems with the terms and conditions of this deal and I remember hearing Prat ask Alpna Khera, Himali Arora, Ashish Malhotra and Anand Chidambaram to enlist Aartech Consultants’ support in getting the Indian Railways to relax certain terms, for example, getting the Indian Railways to agree to a liquidated damages provision.

Did you investigate whether any illegal payments were routed through Aartech Consultants by GE? Was there a violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act? What services did Aartech provide? What payments did GE make to Aartech Consultants? Were these justifiable?

Sincerely,

Seema Sapra

Mr. John Flannery,

I am again asking that you contact me. I need to be immediately moved by General Electric to a safe location. I also need medical treatment. Please call me – my number is 99588 69955.

I am poisoned and gassed in my house. I need to leave my home immediately. No one including my friends or family is willing to offer me a place to stay.

There is no public facility in Delhi that I can move to. In August 2011 when I abandoned my home and asked the Police to house me somewhere safe, I was illegally assaulted, and forcibly dragged and removed from Police headquarters. The Police then attempted to drug me and then tricked me into going back to the house.

I ask that you and General Electric immediately provide me with a safe place to stay.

All,

I have complained that I face a threat to my life on account of compliance violation complaints that I have made about General Electric. These implicate GE officers, executives and attorneys including Jeffrey Immelt, John Rice, Lorenzo Simonelli, Brackett Denniston, Alex Dimitrief, Jeffrey Eglash, Tara Plimpton, James Winget, Karan Bhatia, Pratyush Kumar, John Flannery, Ashfaq Nainar, and Deepak Adlakha. My complaints also implicate Gibson Dunn lawyers – F Joseph Warin and John Chesley who helped cover up the illegalities I reported. I have complained that these GE Officers and lawyers based in the United States acting in conspiracy with Montek Singh Ahluwalia have ordered my murder. The Indian Police and Indian State intelligence agencies are involved in this conspiracy and I am being drugged, poisoned and gassed in my own home. I am also being threatened and intimidated by the Police.

I have complained that my house has been rigged to allow the introduction of toxic gases, chemicals and fumes into my home. I have smelt nitrous oxide, pesticides and other chemicals in my house. I am attaching some pictures that show how the house has been rigged. All the electric fittings have been loosened to create gaps through which these toxic substances are being introduced. There is a hole in the ceiling of one room. I have attached pictures of this hole.

The round caps usually used to seal electric wiring/ plumbing openings inside homes in India have been loosened and holes have been punctured into at least three of these. The house was painted when I moved in and all these round caps were whole and were covered with paint. I attach photos of one of these round caps that has not been tampered with. I also attach photos of two caps that have had holes punched into them.

My electricity plumbing is being accessed from outside my house (it appears from the floor above my house) and toxic substances are being pumped in.

I have complained that this riggging has been carried out in connivance with the lady staying on the ground floor (Rita Mohan) who also owns the second floor and has at present let out the second floor to a Norwegian woman called Kari. I have been up to the second floor recently and noticed that many changes have been carried out. Rita Mohan has consistently lied to me over the past year and half about what has been going on on the second floor.

I had no history of any kind of respiratory problem including asthma before last year. I first complained of being unable to breathe in January 2011 while General Electric’s internal investigation was going on. At that time, I was in a daze of some kind for a few days before the day I had difficulty breathing. My lung X-rays in January 2011 were completely clear. My lungs were completely healthy in January 2011.

I smelt a gas in my home in August 2011 when I brought the GE complaints and threat to life to the attention of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of India. I smelt other chemicals in my house and car as well.

I have again smelt gas/ chemicals in my house and car since January 13, 2012 which is the day after I contacted Judge Richard J. Holwell, the United States District Judge hearing the GE investor law-suits.

Toxic substances are being introduced into my home and car. I am developing respiratory symptoms. My tonsils appear swoolen and sore since last night.

Last night I suddenly woke up feeling breathless. I was sleeping flat on a matress on the floor. This waking up at night breathless has happened earlier on 7-8 occasions in December 2011 and January 2012. I have noticed that on 4-5 occasions in early/ mid December I woke up with my eyelids all swollen as if I was waking up from a drugged sleep.

My car appears to have been tampered with again today. I could smell chemicals in the car and these irritated the throat and caused nausea. My car was also followed today. I had parked the car and am certain that I switched off the head- lights. Yet when I returned to the car the lights were on. This has happened on another occasion in December 2011.  

January 25, 2012:

Yesterday, I found this bag full of sharp Glass pieces on the ledge overlooking the front balcony in my house. This was placed precariously such that it could easily fall down on someone below.

January 24, 2012 at 23.53 Hrs:

It is almost midnight. Some gas has again been released into my home. I could smell it. I can feel a squeezing sensation in my heart.

January 23, 2012 at 9 pm

I can smell some chemical fumes/ gas in my house right now. I have complained of a threat to life from General Electric.

I have complained that toxic substances have been introduced into my house over the last year and a half. I have also complained that this has been going on since the night of January 13, 2012.

The police has taken no action.
I have today put up my complaints to the Police naming Kari, the Norwegian woman living on the floor above mine, and her associates Rajdeep Singh and Mrs. Rita Mohan (the owner of the house who lives on the ground floor) as being involved in this introduction of toxic substances into my house on my blogs on the internet and it appears that the ongoing attempt to harm me and intimidate me is in response to this.

This substance is causing throat irritation and giving me a warm red rash on my ears and face. Further, I can feel a swollen lymph-node in my arm-pit.

This smells like a pesticide.

January 23, 2012 at 6 pm

In an earlier complaint to the Police, I mentioned the air-conditioner in one of the rooms in my house. I attached pictures showing that it was tampered with.

Since yesterday, I noticed some chemical smells while sitting out on my balcony. I thought that some chemical might have been added to either this AC which is easily accessible from the balcony or to the split AC outdoor unit which is still installed on the balcony.

This morning while sitting outside I felt dizzy and lightheaded. I also noticed that clothes which I put out to dry were drying very fast for the winter weather. I could also feel hot air in the area where this AC juts out on the balcony.

I then noticed that cow-webs near the AC were swaying. I have sent a video to the Police. The AC was not on. But it was emitting some hot air which was making the cow-webs sway and which I could also feel. The cow-webs look un-natural and have been added to give an impression that the AC has not been tampered with.

Also, I wish to point out that some suspicious people have moved into the top floor of G 45 just opposite my house. This is occupied by someone called Shiv Khanna who told me he lives there with his mother. However, for the last week or so there are some other people in the house as well including a young foreign (white) woman. I noticed some suspicious activity earlier outside the house as well.

January 22, 2012

I have complained to the Police that since January 13, 2012, some toxic gas/ fumes are being introduced into my house. This has happened earlier as well. I have smelt nitrous oxide in my house. I have complained that my house has been rigged so as to introduce these toxic substances at will. The Police has taken no action.

Some gas/ chemical fumes are still being introduced into my house. I have smelt them today and I also smelt them yesterday.

Even though during the day no one is supposed to be present on the second floor of the house I live in, I have heard movement and sounds from the top floor yesterday as well as today.

Yesterday, my car was followed.

I am an attorney who worked with General Electric and made whistle-blower complaints. Please read the posts on this blog for details about these complaints.

Update 22 January 2012

Last night I called Mr. Ajay Chaudhary, Addnl Commissioner, SE Delhi. I told him the harm to me had not stopped. I asked him when would the Police do something. I told him the Police had done nothing since August 2011.

Mr. Ajay Chaudhary’s reply was "we’ll get something done".

Since this morning. it appears every lout, thug and loony in Jangpura and Bhogal is being made to parade outside my house, stand outside, and have loud arguments.

Policemen on motorcylces are driving past my house and switching on their siren when they drive past my house.

When will this Police sponsored intimidation stop?

Update January 22, 2012 at 6.30 pm

My car has been tampered with again. I could smell chemicals in my car and these gave me nausea. This has happened since yesterday.
The front staircase to my flat has been deliberately broken in some places.

Dear Judge Richard J. Holwell,

I am an attorney in India and had worked as Legal Counsel for GE Transportation’s business activities in India in 2010. I have brought to your attention that I made a compliance complaint to General Electric that is relevant to lawsuits which were filed by General Electric investors before your Court.

I complained that GE employees engaged in criminal conduct amounting to obstruction of justice under US federal statute and tampered with evidence about events that occurred in February 2009. These facts and this evidence are relevant to the cases filed by GE investors before you in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York.

I complained that material information regarding GE’s failed bid for a multi-billion dollar tender for an Indian Railways project for manufacture and sale of diesel locomotives was not disclosed to GE investors in February 2009. This information was capable of influencing share-prices and thus relevant to the shareholder lawsuits filed in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York. I further complained that once these lawsuits were filed in 2009, GE employees tampered with the evidence establishing knowledge of this failed bid by GE officers including Mr.Jeffrey Immelt, Mr. John Rice and Mr. Lorenzo Simonelli. I accidently found out information about events of February 2009 even though I joined GE in April 2010. I mentioned the information I thus acquired to a colleague without realising its significance. This started a process of harassment and retaliation against me by the employees in the New Delhi office who were involved in concealing evidence and creating a misleading record. I ended up raising a compliance concern to the GE General Counsel and Ombudsman in September 2010 that this might involve a securities fraud. (At that time I had no knowledge about the cases filed against GE in 2009. I found out about these cases only in April 2011.) GE retaliated against me and terminated my services. It then carried out a compliance investigation in which Gibson Dunn was involved. However, my complaint was not investigated by GE and Gibson Dunn and the matter was covered up. GE declared its investigation over at the beginning of February 2011. I subsequently responded to GE in writing in April 2011 pointing out that the matter was being covered up and there was sufficient basis for my complaint. It was at this time that I found out about the lawsuits filed by GE investors after February 2009 and I only then understood the full significance of my complaint. I pointed out to GE that evidence showed that offences amounting to obstruction of justice might have been committed. Tampering of evidence, asking employees to lie,suppression/ destruction of evidence and creation of a misleading record to influence a United States Federal Court proceeding would amount to US federal offences and obstruction of justice under US federal statutes.

Among other evidence of what happened around GE’s failed bid in February 2009, I have seen an email sent by GE Transportation employee Mr. Brett Begole to Mr. John Rice and Mr. Karan Bhatia (another GE lawyer) in February 2009 suggesting that a news report from February 2009 that had hinted at GE’s difficulties with the bid be either allowed to die a natural death or that senior Government of India officials (Dr. Montek Singh Ahluwalia and Mr. Ronen Sen, the then Indian Ambassador in Washington) be spoken to. This email was shown to me by Mr. Jeffrey Eglash in New Delhi in late 2010 when he met me during a compliance investigation. This email is suggestive of corruption and demonstrates why GE officers, attorneys and employees might have wanted to prevent their documentary record pertaining to the failed February 2009 bid from being scrutinized by a United States Federal Court. I would like to submit documentary and other evidence on this issue to the Court.

I had informed GE lawyers and ombudsman about my complaint in 2010. The matter was covered up. I thereafter brought the complaint to the attention of the United States SEC and the United States Department of Justice. In 2011, I also brought my complaint to the attention of the Plaintiffs attorneys in several of the law-suits including the partners at Berman DeValerio representing “State Universities Retirement System of Illinois”. I was then contacted by Mr. Ronald J. Keating, the Director of Investigations at Berman DeValerio and I shared detailed facts and documents (substantiating my complaint) on email with Mr. Ronald J. Keating. Ms. Kathleen M. Donovan-Maher, an attorney and a partner at Berman DeValerio was copied on all my correspondence with Mr. Ronald J. Keating. I subsequently made General Electric including Mr. Brackett Denniston, the SEC and the United States Department of Justice aware of my entire communications with Berman DeValerio. I have also recently brought my complaint to the attention of the attorneys representing General Electric before your Court including Mr. Greg Danilow. Further I have contacted various authorities including the United States Ambassador in New Delhi, the United States Attorney General and also the US Legal Attaché (from the FBI) in New Delhi.

I face a grave, immediate and on-going threat to life on account of this complaint as it adversely affects General Electric Executives including Mr. Jeffrey Immelt, Mr. John Rice, Mr. Brackett Denniston, Mr. Alex Dimitrief and Mr. Lorenzo Simonelli.

On the night of 12 January 2012 (Indian time) which would be the forenoon of 12 January 2012 (EST), I called and spoke with the Deputy to your Court (Mr. Bill Donald) and informed him in brief about the nature of my complaint. I told him I was an attorney who had complained about obstruction of justice and tampering with evidence by General Electric concerning facts which were relevant to the General Electric investor law-suits filed in your Court. I informed him that I faced a threat to my life on account of this. He transferred my call to Mr. Brett Kaufman who I was told was the assigned clerk for the case. I briefly explained to Mr. Kaufman why I was calling and informed him about my complaint of obstruction of justice and evidence tampering in connection with the General Electric investor law-suits. I told Mr. Brett Kaufman that I wanted to bring the facts about my complaints to the notice of the Judge. I was advised to send an ex-parte letter to you and I sent a letter addressed to you on the email addresses of Mr. Bill Donald and Mr. Brett Kaufman. I am now providing further detail regarding my complaint.

In 2010, I worked for GE as Legal Counsel for GE Transportation’s business activities in India. I directly reported to Ms. Tara Plimpton, General Counsel for GE Transportation. My boss in India was Mr. Prat (Pratyush) Kumar who is a US citizen and was at that time employed by a US based General Electric entity. He was heading GE Transportation’s business activities and efforts in India and he reported directly to Mr. Lorenzo Simonelli.

I was hired towards the end of April 2010 to provide legal support for General Electric’s bid to win a multi-billion US dollar tender from a Government of India entity, the Indian Railways. This tender provide the opportunity to win a contract from the Indian Railways to set up a plant(factory) in India for the manufacture of diesel locomotives. The tender also included a confirmed purchase order of a 1000 locomotives to be manufactured and supplied over a period of ten years. The purchase order would also include a maintenance contract for the supplied locomotives for a period of 15 years. I refer to this business opportunity hereafter as the “Tender”.

General Electric had participated in this Tender along with another US company, EMD in 2008-2009. The process for winning the tender has two parts. The first step is a pre-qualification process where bids are invited, evaluated and accepted based upon meeting prescribed technical and financial criteria. The second step is the financial bid where the short-listed bidders are invited to submit a price-bid and in the normal course the bidder offering a more competitive price is awarded the contract.

GE failed to win this Tender in February 2009. A fresh Tender for the same project was opened again by Indian Railways in 2010.

When I joined GE in April 2010, I was told that GE and EMD had both prequalified in the earlier round of the Tender (in 2008-2009). I was told that during the price-bid, GE was the sole bidder and EMD did not submit a bid. I was told that the Indian Railways cancelled the Tender in 2009 because there was a single price bid. I was also told that another factor that cost GE the bid in 2009 was the 2009 General Elections in India. This information was provided to me by Mr. Prat Kumar when I interviewed with him for the job.

I joined GE on 23 April 2010. Sometime during the week of 26 April 2010, I was sitting with Prat Kumar and Ramesh Mathur. We were discussing the language for certain certifications that GE would make in the Request for Prequalification for another Indian Railways tender – this one was for electric locomotives. During this conversation Prat Kumar expressed his view that all this legal precision and back and forth was unnecessary because ultimately in his view the Indian Railways had full authority to do whatever it wanted under the RFQ. He then said that in 2009, GE’s bid “was perfect” yet GE did not get the tender.

On 1 May 2010, I attended a meeting with an Indian Railways official along with Mr. Prat Kumar, Mr. Ash (Ashfaq) Nainar and Ms. Alpna Khera from GE. During this meeting I heard the Railways official tell Mr. Prat Kumar that GE would have won the tender in 2009 if they had not made a mistake in their financial bid. He stated that he hoped GE would not make a mistake in its bidding documents in the 2010 round. I was surprised to learn about this mistake. However after the meeting, Mr. Prat Kumar was aggressive and I did not ask about this.

I had no intention of probing the matter of this mistake even though this information contradicted what I had been told earlier by Mr. Prat Kumar and others at GE. I was preoccupied with the fresh tender in 2010. However, I accidently mentioned that GE had made a mistake in 2009 to a colleague Mr. Gaurav Negi on 12 May 2010. The very next day, I first received what sounded like a warning call from HR. Mr. Arvind Subramanian, the HR Manager asked me if I was feeling disgruntled. Prat Kumar came into the office looking worked up. I was summoned to his room and without preamble he started to target me by picking at my work and raising his voice in the presence of Gaurav Negi and other colleagues. Prat Kumar insisted that the only mistake with GE’s bid in in 2009 was in the Power of Attorney. He humiliated me publicly. Thereafter for the next two months I was at the receiving end of sustained retaliation, targeting and harassment at the hands of Mr. Prat Kumar and the GE employees who worked under him at the local office in New Delhi. I was unable to understand the cause of this targeting which seemed to be intended to make me quit. I discussed this harassment with Ms. Tara Plimpton, General Counsel of GE Transportation and with another GE attorney there, Mr. James Winget. I also discussed this harassment with the GE India General Counsel, Mr. Deepak Adlakha. I was told that Mr. Prat Kumar was difficult to work with, crossed compliance lines and that the team under him was not very competent and that the hostilities were a result of this. I was assured that I had the full support of the legal team. During that period I got the impression that I had committed an error in mentioning the mistake in 2009 and that the hostility towards me was on account of that incident. However I kept quiet about the matter and continued to do my job under difficult conditions.

In July 2010, GE employees I was working with including Mr. Prat Kumar altered a document (a customer certificate received from Kazakhstan Railways) and submitted it to the Indian Railways on July 12, 2010 as part of GE’s Request for Prequalification for the tender. I was not a participant to this alteration which amounts to a forgery under Indian law and as I understand under US federal law as well.

After this incident the targeting escalated. I have complained that I was being drugged during this time. I resigned and then withdrew my resignation and told GE that I wanted to raise compliance concerns. I was discouraged but I persisted. I then filed a complaint that I had been targeted because of my having learnt about the mistake in GE’s price bid in 2009 and because I had mentioned it to a colleague. At that time, I had limited information and I complained that Mr. Prat Kumar and other employees at the local Delhi office had lied to their bosses about why GE did not win the bid in 2009. An internal investigation was launched by Ms. Tara Plimpton. However I realised that this was a cover-up. I therefore escalated my complaint and sent it to to Mr. Jeffrey Immelt, Mr. Brackett Denniston and the GE Ombudsperson as well. In my note to them I stated that my complaint about the bid-mistake from 2009 being covered up might amount to a securities fraud. I was immediately fired after this. I left GE but emailed Mr. Denniston that I would pursue my complaint. In that email, I used the words “securities fraud” in connection with my complaint about the February 2009 cover-up. Mr. Denniston asked Mr. Alex Dimitrief and Mr. Jeffrey Eglash to investigate my complaint.

After this, I found out additional information from the internet and news reports about what had happened in February 2009 in so far as GE’s failed bid was concerned. At that time, I was not aware of the investor law-suits filed against GE that covered the period February 2009. I met Mr. Jeffrey Eglash and Mr. John Chesley (from Gibson Dunn) in New Delhi in November 2010. During this meeting I told Mr. Jeffrey Eglash that GE had failed to disclose to investors in February 2009 that it had lost the bid. That this information was capable of influencing share prices and that failure to disclose material information to investors could amount to a securities fraud. I recall telling Mr. Eglash that what I was saying was at least as significant as the comments made by Henry Paulson. Mr. Eglash did not tell me about the pending investor law-suits. Instead he attempted to persuade me that GE had indeed disclosed the information that it had lost the bid to the Indian press. To support his point, Mr. Eglash showed me a press clipping of an Indian news report dated February 23 2009 that mentioned a mistake in GE’s bid. He told me that this clipping showed that GE was not hiding information. I read the extract Mr. Eglash handed over to me and told him that on the contrary it showed that GE was still claiming it would win the tender and that any difficulties with a “mathematical error” with its price bid had been resolved. I asked Mr. Eglash for the first half of the news report he had handed me. He gave me two additional pages. That is when I read the email from Mr. Brett BeGole from GE Transportation addressed to Mr. John Rice and to Mr. Karan Bhatia, an attorney at GE. This email suggested that the news report dated February 23, 2009 that had hinted at GE’s difficulties with the bid be either allowed to die a natural death or that senior Government of India officials (Dr. Montek Singh Ahluwalia and Mr. Ronen Sen, the then Indian Ambassador in Washington) be spoken to. I informed Mr. Eglash of the significance of this email.

When Mr. Jeffrey Eglash showed me the email from Mr. Brett Begole, Mr. John Chesley from Gibson Dunn was not in the room. However, the email and news report was retrieved by Mr. Eglash from a binder/ folder containing documents. This Binder had as I understand been put together by Gibson Dunn after reviewing documents at GE. Therefore, Mr. F. Joseph Warin and Mr. John Chesley from Gibson Dunn have personal knowledge of this email which they must have reviewed.

After this meeting, I sent Mr. Eglash, Mr. Dimitrief and Mr. Denniston a compilation of news reports that I had found on the internet. These reports show that GE submitted a price bid for the Tender on 16 February 2009. By February 23, 2009, the Government of India had already taken a firm decision to scrap the tender. The Government of India held a Cabinet meeting on February 23, 2009 where it took the decision to adopt a different policy route for these projects. The decision to scrap the tender by Indian Railways was communicated to the Cabinet in this meeting on February 23, 2009. Therefore it would appear that this decision to reject GE’s bid was taken by the Indian Railways after February 16 and before February 23, 2009. GE must have been informed of this decision both verbally and in writing. GE did not disclose to GE investors that its bid had failed. Instead the news report from February 23, 2009 and subsequent news reports that year show that GE was misleading news reporters as well as investors on whether or not it would win this contract.

I also found news reports after March 2009 where Mr. Prat Kumar gave interviews to the Indian press stating that the Government of India had rejected GE’s price-bid without any communication to GE. He made no mention of the mistake GE made in the calculations for its price-bid. I sent these to GE as well.

Mr. Eglash refused to discuss my complaints with me after our meeting. I had to send detailed notes. I have complained that during this period after my meeting with Mr. Jeffrey Eglash, I was drugged by GE and an attempt was made to murder me by introducing toxic gas into my home. I fell ill.

I spoke with Mr. Eglash in January 2011. He threatened me by saying that “we do not want you as our enemy forever”.

A few days later, I received a letter from Mr. Alexander Dimitrief on February 3, 2011 stating that GE had investigated my complaints and they were unfounded. I was unwell for a few weeks.

I started to respond to Mr. Alex Dimitrief’s letter in April 2011. At that time I found out about the investor lawsuits in your Court and I was able to connect all the dots. I sent Mr. Dimitrief a detailed note in response to his letter on my complaint that GE failed to disclose to investors in February 2009 that it had lost the locomotives bid. It was only after finding about the GE investor law-suits that I realised why I had been lied to in GE. And why I had been targeted after I found out about the mistake and mentioned it to a colleague. I sent an email to Mr. Joseph Warin pointing out that my complaint had been misrepresented in Mr. Alex Dimitrief’s letter and that it appeared that GE had tampered with evidence about events related to the Locomotives bid in February 2009.

Mr. Lorenzo Simonelli was personally present in New Delhi in February 2009 just for this Locomotives bid. There is email correspondence from February 2009 between Mr. Simonelli and Mr. Immelt on what was going on in Delhi with the price-bid. They all knew about the mistake.

Yet in 2010, I was told by everyone I spoke to in the Delhi office and at GE Transportation in Erie that GE did not get the bid because it was the sole-bidder. No one mentioned the mistake. I found out about it from an external source, mentioned it to someone at GE and was targeted as a result. In August 2011, I asked Ms. Tara Plimpton if she knew about this mistake. She replied – not that I can remember. I was told by a GE Transportation attorney, Mr. James Winget in August 2010 when discussing my complaint of harassment that this should not happen in GE. He told me that a communication from the Indian Railways in February 2009 had been suppressed.

I was told in August 2010 (when I was still at GE) by Mr. Amit Kumar, an attorney from the Indian law-firm Amarchand Mangaldas, that he had provided his services to GE and helped GE get back its security deposit when GE’s bid in 2009 got derailed because of the mistake. He told me he had still not billed GE for these legal services he provided.

I face a grave threat to my life on account of my accidentally finding out about this tampering with evidence by GE. I have been drugged over the course of a year and a half. Attempts have been made and are still being made to poison me.

I request for your help in this matter. I will send to you the news reports and correspondence between me and GE on this issue.

With Regards,

Seema Sapra

Joseph" <fwarin@gibsondunn.com>, "Chesley, John" <JChesley@gibsondunn.com>, james.winget@ge.com, greg.danilow@weil.com

Mr. Alex Dimitrief,

I write in connection with your letter dated February 3, 2011. I have already sent several responses, however because I was being drugged and poisoned since July 2010 and all of last year as well, I was not able to point out some readily apparent falsehoods in your communication.

You state that I was engaged as Consultant. This is false. My contract stated otherwise and the work profile I filled was that of Legal Counsel. I was hired as Legal Counsel but on a contract for eleven months. The internal website of the GE Transportation legal team had a pdf organizational chart with pictures and names of the attorneys in Ms. Tara Plimpton’s team. (Ms. Tara Plimpton was the General Counsel for GE Transportation from 2008 till January 2012). When I joined GE in April 2010 there was a place on that chart for the India Legal Counsel. In August 2010, I downloaded that chart and my name was printed on that chart as the Legal Counsel for India for GE Transportation.

I limit this communication mostly to the issue surrounding my complaint of me being misled by GE executives about the reason why GE did not win the Locomotives tender in February 2009. I later understood that GE executives were actually covering up facts and tampering with evidence about these events of February 2009 to avoid these facts from emerging in connection with the GE investor lawsuits filed after February 2009. Please read my comments below in the light of my previous communication on this matter with you and other GE attorneys, external counsel and GE executives.

As already stated before in other communications, my initial complaint made to Ms. Tara Plimpton in August 2010 when I was still at GE, was that Pratyush Kumar and Ashfaq Nainar might have misled GE Officers by concealing the mistake that GE made in its price-bid on February 16, 2009. You go on to state in your letter essentially that GE Officers including Mr. Immelt, Mr. John Rice and Mr. Lorenzo Simonelli all knew about this mistake and that there was a thorough post-mortem review undertaken by GE and therefore the fact of the mistake could not have been concealed.

I have stated that I was told by Pratyush Kumar and others in the Delhi office of GE Transportation and by GE executives from GE Transportation’s Erie office, who I spoke with and exchanged emails with, that GE did not get the bid only because it was a single bidder. I was told by Pratyush Kumar on one occasion in the presence of other GE staff that GE’s bid in 2009 was perfect and on another occasion that the only problem with GE’s bid in 2009 was a printing error in the Power of Attorney. It is clear that Pratyush Kumar was concealing the fact of the mistake in the price-bid from me.

I found out about this mistake accidentally from an Indian Railways official. This led to repercussions. Ten days later, I mentioned the fact of this mistake to another colleague. This started a three-month long process of harassment and targeting directed at me by the GE Transportation India staff which seemed aimed at making me leave my job.

When I first stated in August 2010 that I was being targeted because of my having found out about this mistake, I asked Ms. Tara Plimpton if she knew about this mistake and her reply was “Not that I can remember”.

I spoke with Mr. James Winger, Senior Counsel at GE Transportation in Erie who was working on this deal about this mistake. He admitted knowledge about the mistake and told me the information had filtered down. He also stated that a communication from the Indian Railways had been suppressed.

Ms. Tara Plimpton then started a compliance investigation/ inquiry by nominating Mr. Anil Chaddha, an attorney at GE Transportation based in Erie to gather information from me. This inquiry commenced before I contacted Mr. Brackett Denniston or the GE Corporate ombudsperson.

If the fact of the mistake was common knowledge and was the subject of a post-mortem as you claim and was not being suppressed, then why would Ms. Tara Plimpton tell me that she could not remember if there had been a mistake. Further and more importantly why would Ms. Plimpton appoint a GE attorney to investigate my complaint. All Ms. Plimpton had to do was to tell me that she and other GE executives in Erie and Fairfield were aware of the fact of this mistake and that I could not have been harassed for finding out about it. I add that if this was the mere substance of my complaint on this issue, why would Mr. Brackett Denniston ask you and Mr. Eglash to investigate this complaint, why would GE engage the services of Gibson Dunn to investigate a complaint that had no initial substance in the first place. All Mr. Denniston had to tell me was that he and others were already aware of the fact of this mistake.

After Ms, Plimpton nominated Mr. Anil Chaddha to hear me on my complaint, I spoke to Ms. Himali Arora, the then CFO for GE Transportation in India and she told me everyone knew about the mistake including Mr. Lorenzo Simonelli who was present in New Delhi at the relevant time in February 2009.

Therefore by the time I realised that Mr. Anil Chaddha and Ms. Tara Plimpton were trying to cover up my complaint, I already knew that everybody knew about the mistake.

I thereafter emailed Mr. Brackett Denniston and the GE Corporate Ombudsperson and I asked them to intervene. I sent these emails while I was still at GE and therefore used my GE email account and GE laptop. I do not have a copy of this email but I recall writing that there appeared to be a possible securities fraud here. I received replies from Mr. Brackett Denniston, Mr. Alex Dimitrief and from Mr. Mark Nordstorm that my complaint would be investigated. Instead I was immediately summarily fired on September 20, 2010. I then contacted Mr. Denniston on email the same day on bringing to his notice that I had been fired and that whistle-blower laws had been violated. I quote from this email sent by me to Mr. Denniston on September 20, 2012:

“My complaint about a fraud regarding the reason for GE losing the D Loco bid in 2009 is a potential shareholder fraud and a SEC violation. I intend following up on this. Your response in terminating my contract is in violation of US whistleblower protection laws.”

This email that I sent on September 20, 2010 was also sent to Ms. Tara Plimpton and Mr. Deepak Adlakha with a copy marked to Mr. David Lobo.

Your letter dated February 3, 2011 therefore misrepresents my complaint on this matter. I have already described in earlier communications the interactions that I had later on with Mr. Jeffrey Eglash and Mr. John Chesley during their alleged investigation.

I have also pointed out that GE’s bid had already been finally rejected by the Indian Railways before February 24, 2009. GE would ordinarily have received a written communication from the Indian Railways rejecting GE’s bid and providing reasons there-for. Was this the letter Mr. James Winget told me was suppressed?

The email that Mr. Jeffrey Eglash showed me (sent from Mr. Brett BeGole to Mr. John Rice and Mr. Karan Bhatia) was dated February 24, 2009.

Mr. Amit Kumar, an attorney from the Indian law-firm Amarchand Mangaldas was brought in to provide legal advice on this matter in 2009.

I have provided news reports from 2009 (dating March 2009 and thereafter) where Mr. Pratyush Kumar gave press interviews stating that the Indian Railways cancelled the tender without sending any communication to GE and suggesting that GE was left guessing at the reasons for this action. Why was Mr. Pratyush Kumar making these false statements? Since it is clear that he was not trying to mislead GE executives and Officers, who was Mr. Pratyush Kumar trying to mislead? What was the purpose of these false statements to the Press?

The only inference that can be drawn is that these Press interviews by Mr. Pratyush Kumar were a response to the investor law-suits that were filed against GE after March 2009. All these facts and evidence tie in with my complaint (which I made for the first time in an email sent to Mr. F. Joseph Warin from Gibson Dunn in April 2011, more than two months after your letter dated February 3, 2011) that GE Executives and Officers were tampering with evidence about the events surrounding this tender from February 2009 and the only reason to do so would be the GE investor law-suits that included February 2009 in their class-period.

I have emailed you that I am being drugged, poisoned and gassed because of the above and other compliance violation complaints that I made about General Electric.

Subject: Please pass on this message to the Hon’ble Richard J. Holwell, United States District Judge, Southern District of New York
To: william_donald@nysd.uscourts.gov, brett_kaufman@nysd.uscourts.gov

Please pass on this message to the Hon’ble Richard J. Holwell, United States District Judge, Southern District of New York.

Dear Judge Richard J. Holwell,

I am an attorney from India and worked with General Electric in New Delhi in 2010. I wish to bring to your notice that I have made a complaint that GE employees engaged in criminal conduct amounting to obstruction of justice under US federal statute and tampered with evidence about events that occurred in February 2009. These facts and this evidence are relevant to the cases filed by GE investors before you in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York.

I had informed GE lawyers and ombudsman about my complaint in 2010. The matter was covered up. I thereafter brought the complaint to the attention of the United States SEC and the United States Department of Justice. In 2011, I also brought my complaint to the attention of the Plaintiffs attorneys. I was contacted by Berman DeValerio and I shared detailed facts and documents with them that substantiated my complaint. I made GE, the SEC and the DOJ aware of my communications with Berman DeValerio. I have also recently brought my complaint to the attention of the attorneys representing GE before your Court. Further I have contacted the United States Embassy in New Delhi, the US Attorney General and also the US Legal Attache (from the FBI) in New Delhi.

I face a threat to life on account of this complaint and other complaints that are mentioned below.

Last night (India time) which would be the forenoon of 12 January 2012, I called the Deputy to your Court and informed him in brief about the nature of my complaint and the threat I was facing. He put my call through to Mr. Brett Kaufman who I was told was the assigned clerk for the case. I briefly explained to Mr. Kaufman why I was calling and informed him that I wanted to bring the facts about my complaint regarding possible obstruction of justice and the resultant threat to life to the notice of the Judge. I was advised to send an ex-parte letter to you and I am therefore writing to you.

In 2010, I worked for GE as Legal Counsel for GE Transportation’s business activities in India. I was directly reporting to Ms. Tara Plimpton, General Counsel for GE Transportation.

I complained that material information regarding GE’s failed bid for a multi-billion dollar tender for an Indian Railways project for manufacture and sale of diesel locomotives was not disclosed to GE investors in February 2009. This information was capable of influencing share-prices and thus relevant to the shareholder lawsuits filed in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York. I further complained that once these lawsuits were filed in 2009, GE employees tampered with the evidence establishing knowledge of this failed bid by top GE officers including Mr. Jeffrey Immelt, Mr. John Rice and Mr. Lorenzo Simonelli. I accidently found out information about events of February 2009 even though I joined GE in April 2010. I mentioned the information I thus acquired to a colleague without realising its significance. This started a process of harassment and retaliation against me by the employees in the New Delhi office who were involved in concealing evidence and creating a misleading record. I ended up raising a compliance concern to the GE General Counsel and Ombudsman in September 2010 that this might involve a securities fraud. (At that time I had no knowledge about the cases filed against GE in 2009. I found out about these cases only in April 2011.) GE retaliated against me and terminated my services. It then carried out a compliance investigation in which Gibson Dunn was involved. However, my complaint was not investigated by GE and Gibson Dunn and the matter was covered up. GE declared its investigation over at the beginning of February 2011. I subsequently responded to GE in writing in April 2011 pointing out that the matter was being covered up and there was sufficient basis for my complaint. It was at this time that I found out about the lawsuits filed by GE investors after February 2009 and I only then understood the full significance of my complaint. I pointed out to GE that evidence showed that offences amounting to obstruction of justice might have been committed. Tampering of evidence, asking employees to lie, suppression/ destruction of evidence and creation of a misleading record to influence a United States Federal Court proceeding would amount to US federal offences and obstruction of justice under US federal statutes.

Among other evidence of what happened around GE’s failed bid in February 2009, I have seen an email sent by GE Transportation employee Mr. Brett Begole to Mr. John Rice and Mr. Karan Bhatia (another GE lawyer) in February 2009 suggesting that a news report from February 2009 that had hinted at GE’s difficulties with the bid be either allowed to die a natural death or that senior Government of India officials (Dr. Montek Singh Ahluwalia and Mr. Ronen Sen, the then Indian Ambassador in Washington) be spoken to. This email was shown to me by Mr. Jeffrey Eglash in New Delhi in late 2010 when he met me during a compliance investigation. This email is suggestive of corruption and demonstrates why GE officers, attorneys and employees might have wanted to prevent their documentary record pertaining to the failed February 2009 bid from being scrutinized by a United States Federal Court. I would like to submit documentary and other evidence on this issue to the Court.

I made complaints about other compliance violations as well, but none of these was properly investigated and matters were covered up. I believe that the principal reason for not investigating these other complaints was to avoid the truth about the evidence from February 2009 coming to light as at that time GE was arguing its Motion to Dismiss filed in the cases before your Court.

My other complaints are not relevant to the proceedings before your Court but I mention them here to indicate the gravity of what I complained about.

I complained that a customer certificate from Kazakhstan Railways was altered by GE employees and then submitted by GE to the Government of India as part of its request for qualification for an Indian Railways locomotive tender in July 2010. Such alteration would constitute forgery rendering the guilty GE employees liable to criminal prosecution and GE liable to disqualification and blacklisting. This would amount to government procurement fraud as well as a federal offence of forging a government document.

I complained that GE was paying bribes to Indian government officials through a third party contractor called Aartech Consultants. This would amount to US federal offences under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

I complained that GE had hired as consultant, a former Government official and advisor, Vinod Sharma and this constituted a violation of the tender documents and amounted to a corrupt practice as defined in the tender documents.

I complained of other corrupt contact between GE employees and Indian officials for the purposes of these tender bids. GE employees and attorneys based in the US were aware of and were party to such corrupt contact.

I complained of harassment, retaliation, and intimidation at GE and that I was drugged while I was still at GE. I complained of violation of whistleblower laws.

GE’s US attorneys and Gibson Dunn attorneys used the pretence of an internal GE investigation to corruptly cover up the various illegalities listed before. Such cover-up in itself amounts to independent and separate offences under US federal law and Indian municipal law.

I was threatened by Mr. Jeffrey Eglash during a phone conversation in January 2011. Mr. Eglash attempted to pressurize me into giving up my complaints.

I have complained that I was being drugged and attempts were made to poison me even between September 2010 and February 2011 while GE’s internal investigation was on.

I have complained that since February 2011 until the present, I have been drugged on numerous occasions and attempts have been made to poison me. I have been hounded and terrorized. I have received various threats from other Indian lawyers and from doctors whom I consulted when I suspected that I was being drugged/ poisoned. I have been gang-stalked. My house has been damaged and rigged to facilitate introduction of poisonous gases, toxins and chemicals. The power supply to my house was tampered with in order to damage appliances. My car brakes and AC were tampered with and car exhaust and chemicals were introduced into my car. My house has been entered into. My belongings, clothes and bedding were sprayed with chemicals/ pesticides. I have smelt nitrous oxide in my house. My phones are being hacked. My laptops were destroyed. Bugs were planted in my home. The air-conditioner in my house was tampered with. I was subjected nightly to dogs barking and howling outside my house for hours at a stretch. My car has been followed by thugs. I have been followed by thugs to the gym. Thugs have been sent to my house to intimidate me. Gangs on motorcycles have been made to circle my house to intimidate me. The local police has been corrupted and pressurized to prevent them from coming to my assistance. The police was used to illegally assault me while I was at the police headquarters asking for protection and then later drug me. I have been completely isolated as “friends”, family and neighbours have been recruited to harm me. My family has been blackmailed into denying me support and into participating in intimidation and harm using a domestic violence criminal complaint filed against them and a child custody dispute. I have been smeared as part of the campaign against me.

I tried to protect myself by withdrawing all my complaints hoping that I would be left alone. But that was not the case. Attempts were made to drug me, intimidate me and harm me even thereafter. I got the impression then that I was in even greater danger.

It is quite evident from the scale and nature of the operation against me that there is a grave threat to my life and that powerful persons at GE, including GE Officers and GE lawyers and Gibson lawyers have ordered that I be murdered/ eliminated. The powerful persons who are caught up in my complaints and who stand to lose from the truth being established include the following:

Mr. Jeffrey Immelt, Chairman -General Electric

Mr. John Rice, Vice Chairman -General Electric

Mr. John Flannery, General Electric

Mr. Brackett Denniston, General Counsel – General Electric

Mr. Alex Dimitrief , Vice President, General Electric

Mr. Jeffrey Eglash, Senior Counsel, General Electric

Mr. Karan Bhatia, Senior Counsel – General Electric

Mr. Lorenzo Simonelli, GE Transportation

Ms. Tara Plimpton, GE Transportation

Ms. James Winget, GE Transportation

Mr. Pratyush (Prat) Kumar, General Electric

Mr. Ashfaq (Ash) Nainar – General Electric

Mr. F Joseph Warin, Gibson Dunn

Mr. John Chesley, Gibson Dunn

I have appealed to the United States Government, the FBI and other US law enforcement agencies to protect me as a whistleblower and a witness to and victim of crime sponsored and ordered by US Citizens living in the United States. I believe the threat to my life originates from the persons I have named above and that they have ordered my murder/ elimination. I have made several complaints against these persons accusing them of United States federal criminal offences (and in some cases offences under Indian municipal law) which if investigated and prosecuted would not only cost these persons their jobs, their reputations and careers but would also result in criminal convictions and prison sentences. The attorneys on this list would be disbarred.

Regards,

Seema Sapra

Please pass on this message to the Hon’ble Richard J. Holwell, United States District Judge, Southern District of New York.

Dear Judge Richard J. Holwell,

This is in connection with my earlier communication regarding my complaint of a threat to my life on account of whistle-blower complaints that I have made against General Electric, one of which has a bearing on investor lawsuits against General Electric that were filed in your Court.

I have described in great detail the attacks against me that have taken place over the last year and a half. I have provided this information to law enforcement authorities both in India and in the United States. I would like to bring this information to your knowledge as well. Please see my letter addressed to the Legal Attache in the United States Embassy here in New Delhi which is attached herewith.

I also fear that contacting your office last week has resulted in retaliatory intimidation and harm to me. Since the night of January 13, 2012 some kind of toxic substances have been introduced into my house. I have smelt an unpleasant chemical and it has caused symtoms like stinging in the eyes, head-aches and respiratory symptoms. I have also intermittently smelt some other gas which could be nitrous oxide or something else. I have repeatedly complained about this to the local Police here and they have taken no action.

I fear for my life. I request that you intervene in this matter as the threat arises on account of my complaint about obstruction of justice and evidence tampering by General Electric in connection with lawsuits filed in your Court.

With Regards,

Seema Sapra

Dear Judge Richard J. Holwell,

I am sending some correspondence that took place between me and General Electric and others on the subject of my complaint that GE was hiding evidence that established that GE Officers knew but did not publicly disclose that a mullti-billion dollar tender bid (that they had told investors about in a public forum) failed sometime between February 16, 2009 and February 23, 2009.

Thank you.

With Regards,
