New Delhi, August 27, 2026 – Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee (DPCC) president Shri Devender Yadav has formally lodged a complaint with the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC), backed by documents highlighting irregularities in the scrapping of old vehicles. He has demanded a CBI investigation into a massive Rs 100 crore scam involving enforcement agencies, the Delhi Transport Department, Delhi Traffic Police, Municipal Corporation of Delhi, and private scrap companies (RVSFS).
Shri Yadav stated that under the guise of the Supreme Court’s directives, scrap companies and enforcement agencies have issued forged Certificates of Deposit, which should have been authorized only by the Central Transport Department. This illegal practice has exploited vehicle owners who voluntarily deposit their old vehicles, while forcibly seized vehicles are fraudulently scrapped, indicating widespread corruption.
He further alleged that Delhi Traffic Police sold seized vehicles directly to scrap companies without tenders or auctions, causing a huge loss to government revenue. Records of vehicles handed over to scrapping firms are missing, leaving the government unaware of the number of vehicles scrapped or the revenue generated.
Highlighting the plight of economically weaker sections, Shri Yadav said over 10,900 e-rickshaws, which are not covered under the end-of-life vehicle policy, were wrongly handed to scrap companies instead of being returned to owners on payment of penalties. Scrap companies, with support from enforcement agencies, even created fake ID cards using MCD and Delhi Police logos to intimidate vehicle owners.
Shri Yadav also pointed out that some scrap company owners repeatedly created new firms to evade government notices and continue defrauding the exchequer. He has called for a thorough CBI probe to hold all culprits accountable and stop this rampant misuse of authority.
