The three transport department officials suspended in Delhi

New Delhi: The three transport department officials are found involved in corruption, which made the Delhi government to suspend them.

They were suspended  in issuing fresh Letters Of Interest, for three-wheelers, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said on Saturday.

“Three officials of transport department being suspended. Corruption in issuing fresh letter of interests for 3-wheelers,” Sisodia tweeted.

The minister said the LOIs were being issued “randomly” despite orders to issue them in a chronological order of applications. “It was found that in many cases the LOIs were being given to dealers instead of applicants,” he said in another tweet.

The Delhi government has handed over the matter to the Central Bureau of Investigation. “This government cannot tolerate corruption at any level,” he added.
