In December 2013, an Indian news website, Cobrapost, claimed that it conducted a sting operation in which 11 Indian MPs, for money, were willing to write recommendation letters and to lobby the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas to favour a (fictitious) foreign oil company. The sting operation was code-named Operation Falcon Claw. Bairwa was one of the accused politicians. Allegedly, he had asked for 5 million (US$60,000) for writing a recommendation letter.[3]
