‘Bribe for entry’ scam: Advocate seeks probe into alleged ‘monthly payments’ to RTO officials

Advocate S. Nataraja Sharma has lodged a complaint with the Karnataka Transport Commissioner regarding an alleged "monthly payments" scam involving RTO officials and a bus owner intermediary known as "Guru". The allegations, which emerged from a WhatsApp group titled 'Bus Owners of India', claim that Keralam-registered tourist bus operators are paying monthly bribes ranging from ₹16,000 to ₹30,000 to facilitate the movement of their vehicles in Karnataka.

The complaint seeks an independent investigation into the involvement of certain RTO officials and the intermediary, as well as an examination of various records and transactions to verify the claims.
