Twenty crore scam exposed in Delhi Jal Board: According to the official statement, DJB has suffered huge financial losses in a clear case of corruption.

It said that more than Rs 20 crore was deposited in the form of water bills from consumers, which for many years went to a private bank account instead of a bank account of DJB i.e. Delhi Jal Board.

Despite this, the contract of the company involved in depositing the bill was not terminated, the statement said.

According to the statement, DJB had appointed its Corporation Bank through an order in June 2012 to collect water bills for three years and renew its contract in 2016, 2017, and 2019 even after the fraud was detected.

In return, the bank violated the terms of the contract.

Not only this, a private agency M/s Freshpay IT Solutions Pvt Ltd was deputed for collection of cash and check and deposit in the bank account of DJB under the knowledge of DJB officials.

It was told that when this error was revealed in the month of October 2019, even then his contract was extended.

The amount of water bill was taken from the consumers but this amount was not deposited in the bank account of the Jal Board.

On October 10, 2019, during Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s tenure as Delhi Jal Board chairman.

It was found that cash has not been deposited by the bank, and between August 11, 2012, to October 10, 2019, there has been an error of Rs 20 crore.
