Corruption Probe Launched Against Suthra Punjab

The Anti-Corruption Establishment (ACE) has initiated an investigation into financial irregularities at the Suthra Punjab Agency in Faisalabad, involving fuel and vehicle rental expenses. The agency declared 800 vehicles to the Punjab government, but only around 550 were operating. The declared fleet allegedly cost Rs. 15.6 million per month in fuel expenses, while the inclusion of rental costs for an additional 200 vehicles reportedly led to financial irregularities of nearly Rs.

17.5 million per month. The investigation also uncovered allegations of using fake registration plates to obtain fuel and damaging vehicle tracking devices and disabling CCTV cameras to conceal the activities. ACE officials have collected evidence, including video recordings, documents, and mobile phones from employees, and local anti-corruption officials are reviewing the evidence to establish responsibility. The outcome of the investigation will determine any legal action taken.
