The Bhopal Municipal Corporation's investigation into a potential scam involving fountains installed ahead of a global investors summit has come under scrutiny for its lack of accountability and lack of financial details. The Urban Administration and Housing Development Department (UADD) questioned the inquiry's thoroughness, noting that deficiencies were identified but no specific officials or employees were held responsible.
Additionally, the report did not quantify the financial loss alleged to have been incurred by the public. The committee responsible for the investigation had previously received a letter from UADD seeking their response to the findings before the matter could be fully examined. The Lokayukta had previously rejected an inquiry conducted by Udit Garg, mandating a fresh investigation.
The inquiry committee submitted its report on April 1, and UADD subsequently wrote to the BMC commissioner, pointing out the deficiencies in the report and requesting further action.
