NEW DELHI: Lieutenant governor VK Saxena on Friday directed the Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) to conduct a probe into allegations of “corruption and collusion” of transport department officials with auto financers and unauthorised dealers at Burari Transport Authority.
Sources said the directions were given in the wake of a Delhi High Court’s order on a criminal writ petition filed by several autorickshaw unions alleging large-scale corruption at the regional transport office (RTO) and consequent harassment of auto drivers. “The LG has directed ACB to complete the investigation and submit a comprehensive report within a month,” said a source privy to the development.
