AAP govt forms commission to probe CNG fitness scam

[related-post]

Delhi Home Minister Satyendra Jain said the Commission of Inquiry will be headed by retired Delhi High Court judge Justice S N Agarwal and its terms of reference will be announced in a day or two.

The scam had come to light in 2012 when ACB found that the Delhi government had lost nearly Rs 100 crore in alleged irregularities in awarding of contract to operate and maintain inspection and certification of CNG vehicles at the transport authority in Burari to ESP India Pvt Ltd instead of ESP USA.

The AAP had accused Lt Governor Najeeb Jung of trying to hush up the scam.

When asked whether Jung or former Chief Minister Dikshit will be questioned, Jain said it will be up to the Commission to decide.

He said Lt Governor’s approval was not necessary in appointing the Commission of Inquiry.
