The anti-corruption branch has filed a preliminary investigation report pointing out several “irregularities” in connection with the AAP government’s ambitious app-based Premium Bus Service Scheme. The irregularities pointed out in it include alleged misinterpretation of the Motor Vehicles Act to suit the scheme, absence of any limit on the number of buses or routes under it and not putting its proposal on the public domain, a source in ACB said on Wednesday.
He further said, all bus operators except one had opposed the scheme in connection with which a notification was issued on the Lieutenant Governor’s name without his prior approval. Also, the finance
and law departments were “not consulted” with regard to the same.
Almost all the “irregularities” mentioned in the report were first pointed out by BJP legislator Vijender Gupta, on whose complaint a probe into the matter was iniated by ACB chief M K Meena.
