Transport Minister B. Sriramulu on Friday announced a CID inquiry into the cases where high-end luxury cars have been registered in Karnataka without paying lifetime road tax that has resulted in losses to exchequer.
The Minister announced the CID inquiry during his response in the Legislative Council to a question on the issue posed by Janata Dal (Secular) member C. N. Manje Gowda.
Acknowledging the involvement of officials in the scam, Mr. Sriramulu said that many files pertaining to the registration of high-end cars had gone missing. A decision has been taken to conduct a high-level inquiry after a preliminary investigation by a committee found out the irregularity, and that action would be taken against those officials involved in the scam.
