Delhi Traffic Police conned

The investigative agency has accused the Turbo Consultancy Pvt Ltd of conning the Delhi Traffic Police. Turbo Consultancy Pvt Ltd allegedly supplied and installed the faulty traffic signals and speed violation check camera system across Delhi. In a suspected scam, the company has conned Rs. 8.5 crore through the contract installing the cameras at 12 prime spots of the Capital. The cameras apparently stopped working within a year, although the firm had a 10-year contract in place.

‘The firm conned the department to the tune of Rs 8.5 crore and the alleged cheating lasted from 2000-2017, after which the Vigilance Branch conducted an inquiry. The traffic signals and cameras were installed in 2000-2007 at SP Marg, Panchsheel crossing, Tughlaq Road, Max Mueller Marg, Barar Square, Dwarka Sectors 1 and 2 and Karol Bagh, among other places,’ according to the FIR.

The firm makes false commitments 

The FIR further stated that after the installation the system did not work for the mentioned time period, the equipment lay dysfunctional within a year of purchase. The EOW will also conduct a separate enquiry to figure out how the firm bagged the contract fraudulently going through all the technical tests. The DTP further stated that the firm intentionally perpetrated the conning of the Delhi Police by supplying equipment and technology it was not able to support in the long run.
