00:00In our next report, you'll be even more shocked.
00:02Buses are flying, tickets are being sold, goods are being transported,
00:07and if there is at all any fear of action, that soon goes away
00:11because allegedly an arrangement is made.
00:14In this India Today investigation, a bus operator says on camera
00:18about the point of running a bus in Delhi, about what are the costs if required.
00:24There is a phone call before checking.
00:26Alleged expense reaches government departments.
00:29This is a full-on nexus, never uncovered before,
00:33and that's what India Today's Nitin Jain brings to you.
00:50These buses cover hundreds of kilometres from Delhi to NCR,
00:54from NCR to western Uttar Pradesh.
00:56They take passengers to their destinations.
00:59But the question is, do these buses have valid permission to run in Delhi?
01:07Or are these buses running their business by bypassing government rules
01:11using a corrupt nexus with cops and baboos?
01:23We met a bus operator named Rajbir, who gave us shocking details.
01:48Duggamari, meaning bus operations in which passengers are allegedly carried by sidelining valid permits and rules,
01:55but to run this business, only a bus and driver are not enough.
02:01According to Rajbir, to run a bus, they need to pay at every traffic signal.
02:42A point of 1,500 rupees to 2,000 rupees to run a bus in Delhi.
02:49But who gets the money and how?
02:55Rajbir's words raise serious questions over corruption on Delhi's roads.
03:24Rajbir's words facehält
03:37According to Rajbeer, the entire arrangement is run through phone calls and everyone from
03:42RTOs to police thanas has their cuts.
03:47For example, a Gurugram to Bareilly route comes at an expense of around 1 lakh 60 thousand
03:53rupees.
04:09Rajbeer reveals that despite the ban on non-BS6 buses, his connections get the buses
04:18flying.
04:49The checks are straight.
04:50They are stringent on paper to stop air pollution, but how effective are they on the roads?
04:54Is Delhi losing its war to the smog syndicate?
