Girish Mallik told the court that a GM of CNDS, P K Jain, had allegedly asked for three per cent commission for Kushwaha, one per cent for himself and varying amounts for other people involved in the project. In August 2006, the company submitted a list of items and their rates after which Jain and a resident engineer prepared the project estimate.
