Amid allegations of malpractices by the Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) officials depositing demonetised notes with banks, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)-led Government has ordered a probe into the allegations.
Transport Minister Satyendar Jain has ordered the Chairman-cum-Managing Director (CMD) of DTC to conduct a detailed enquiry into allegations that some officers in the DTC are interchanging notes of `500 and `1,000 against the smaller-value notes collected from the passengers as fare.
The CMD has been asked to initiate appropriate criminal or departmental action against the guilty.
Delhi BJP president Satish Upadhyay had written to lieutenant-Governor Najeeb Jung a few days ago over the same, citing certain allegations against the AAP in the “political corridors and social media”.
“As conveyed three days ago telephonically by the undersigned, a detailed enquiry be conducted into the matter and criminal/departmental action as deemed fit be initiated against such delinquent officers/officials,” Jain has issued an order on Tuesday itself.
