While the initial project approval limit was set at 10 million rupees, authorities inexplicably signed a contract worth 17 million rupees with the fraudulent entity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The investigation has uncovered several alarming aspects of this scandal:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Contract Irregularities:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The contract was awarded without following proper Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA) rules<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No technical or financial evaluation was conducted before awarding the tender<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The contract was granted without necessary fund allocation approvals<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Fraudulent Payments:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Two bills worth 3.94 million and 4.93 million rupees were approved and paid without physical verification or laboratory testing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>These payments were transferred to an individual&#8217;s personal bank account rather than a company account<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Investigation confirmed that two checks totaling 8.5 million rupees were deposited into the fake company&#8217;s account<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Documentation Fraud:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Laboratory reports for construction materials are missing from records<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fake completion certificates were issued despite incomplete work<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Photographic evidence suggests the track existed prior to the contract allocation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Official Collusion:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Finance Wing approved payments despite lack of proper fund allocation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>CDA officials bypassed multiple verification layers to process fraudulent payments<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Total recorded financial loss exceeds 18.57 million rupees<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What makes this case particularly concerning is that despite the completion of the inquiry report 10 months ago, no concrete action has been taken against the responsible officials.
