Top Indian GM researcher falsified patent claim to grab national award
A top scientist engaged in research on genetically modified food crops has been found to have falsified claims about patents to grab a national award. The scientist, Dr Kailash C. Bansal, was given the prestigious Rafi Ahmed Kidwai Award for ”outstanding research” in transgenic crops for the year 2007-2008 on the basis of claims that he had”filed three patents for novel gene discovery”, including one on transgenic brinjal . In reality, no such patent application or patent existed when he was given the award on July 16, 2009.
