Meanwhile a case of payment by issuing fake bills for attached vehicles has surfaced at CMHO office of Bhopal.
According to the bills which are on paper, these vehicles on rent are Innova Crysta, Dzire and Bolero, but when their numbers were investigated, a shocking revelation was revealed. Actually, a total of Rs 88000 was paid on two bill numbers 7194 and 7386 of Swift Dezire (19 BA 0310).
When investigated in the RTO, it was revealed that this number was not of any Dzire car, but of a CT 100 bike of Satna resident Kandhilal Sen, which never came to Bhopal. Similarly, in another bill in which a payment of Rs 27000 has been made, the Dzire vehicle is shown on MP04T4533.
This is actually the number of the auto rickshaw of Jahangirabad resident Abdul Rashid, but in the CMHO office, payments for the vehicles have been being made to a private tour and travel company for years on this number. By issuing fake bills for more than 10 such vehicles, sometimes by increasing the payment and sometimes by decreasing, the government's revenue is being harmed.
Private tour and travel company is being given benefits, information about more than 10 such fake bills came to light
Actually, according to the rules of the Finance Department, only taxi quota vehicles can be hired and not private category vehicles. Congress leader Puneet Tandon has complained about this to the Lokayukta including Deputy CM, Chief Secretary and top officials of the Health Department.
CMHO Bhopal Dr. Prabhakar Tiwari we have a complete proof system here. Before the payment is released, four people verify it. There are no vehicles here in bulk but only a few vehicles are available. It is possible that in some cases a clerical mistake may have occurred.
