New Delhi:
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has registered a case of fraud with the Delhi Police related to the award of a contract for construction of its phase III corridor, a statement said on Wednesday.
"The DMRC has detected two cases of fraud related to the tenders of the Delhi Metro's construction work for its Phase 3 corridors. The Crime Branch of Delhi Police is currently investigating. A police case has also been registered," said a DMRC statement.
"In both these cases detected in March and April, fake letters of acceptance have been issued to two contractors who did not even bid for these contracts. Some individuals are fraudulently luring contractors with the intent of cheating them," it added.
According to DMRC, several fraud cases related to the recruitment came to light earlier and were referred to the police.
The DMRC also warned people to beware of middlemen as it does not involve any agency or middlemen in its tendering or recruitment related activities.
"Complete transparency is maintained by DMRC in its tendering procedures and all relevant details are uploaded on the official website for reference," said the statement.
"If anyone is approached by such frauds, they should immediately cross check with the DMRC website and contact us," it added.
