Surat’s Mitul Trivedi was summoned by Surat Police Commissioner for claiming to be a part of the designing team of Chandrayaan-3, the Indian spacecraft that successfully landed on the South Pole of the moon on Wednesday. Trivedi’s claims were denied by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), which said he was not involved in the design or development of Chandrayaan-3.
Trivedi too has failed to provide any document to substantiate his claim and instead, sought time for the same.
Trivedi reportedly told the police that he had a contract from ISRO. However, when faced with questions from mediapersons after coming out of the commissioner’s office, he chose to evade their queries and made a swift exit.
As the details unfolded, it surfaced that Trivedi had previously declared himself as an ISRO employee, claiming to have played a pivotal role in shaping the design of Chandrayaan-3.
His statements included his alleged affiliation with ISRO since 2011 and even a partnership with NASA from 2013 onwards. However, his name is missing from the agency’s payroll.
Trivedi had previously stated, “I urge everyone to grant me some time; I am committed to clarifying all the doubts. As soon as the documents are available, I will provide the necessary explanations.
“I firmly believe that actions speak louder than words. If I were pursuing fraudulent intentions, I would certainly not be here facing these questions. My expertise lies in the realm of designing, and I remain closely involved with the Chandrayaan-3 project. I leave it to the discerning public to evaluate my credibility based on the available evidence.”
