00:00The toxic air is still on, grab restrictions are in force, BS4 diesel vehicles are banned as well.
00:06But now stay tuned for India Today's special investigation.
00:10We're not only covering the political showdown.
00:12Our reporters went undercover in our Operation Smog Syndicate,
00:17understanding if these banned buses are entering in Delhi and are they still flying.
00:24What my colleague Nitin Jain found was shocking to say the least.
00:29You'll watch now how it's not just about buses entering into Delhi and more,
00:33but there is a price fixed for every department, operators, who's taking the money,
00:40how pollution enforcement is a joke in so many ways.
00:43Watch this report.
00:58As pollution rises in Delhi, grab restrictions come into force.
01:03Questions are also raised about banning BS4 diesel buses.
01:06But our investigation uncovered a network where bus operators claim that whether it's a BS4 bus
01:13or a pollution ban, their vehicles will keep running in Delhi.
01:19How?
01:20Who will give this guarantee?
01:21And is a complete system of entry and quote-unquote setting operating for buses from Delhi to Tripadish?
01:29We approached operators saying we had bought a bus and wanted to start a new route from Delhi to Deopan.
01:36We clearly stated that our bus was a 2015 model BS4 diesel bus.
01:41At a time when action is taken against vehicles in the name of pollution,
01:45we asked the operators how our bus would run in Delhi.
01:49During this inquiry, we met Asif and his partner Nadeem.
01:53Both are seasoned operators in the Dugga-Mari or illegal interstate bus business.
01:59We made it clear to both of them on multiple occasions that our vehicle was BS4.
02:04Would it be able to run?
02:05Listen to their replies.
02:08How do we cut these two months?
02:09How do we cut these two months?
02:10Two months is the road barrier.
02:13Two months is the road barrier.
02:14I don't have a problem at all.
02:19If you start with 보세요 by Cong sexuality, we街 on the next?
02:20Never mind walking at a north Wilbur is really sizzling.
02:22Like, they're turning in 40 miles and all the details behind them.
02:24This area is trying to plan to take another analogy.
02:29As for them, when a car is running for the first rider The point is during the other is up
02:34to行 where they are about道,
02:38There areena's people telling us to keep available,
02:40there will be balls and things being fetched or protected.
02:45When a car can drive anywhere here,
02:45when a car and drive somewhere.
02:45driving money alboes to shop
02:46when some cars get done and altering time,
02:46things like deles and color's driving him.
03:11Oh
03:12Oh
03:18Nadeem and Asif claim there will be no problem running a BS4 bus.
03:22But our conversation did not end there.
03:24Asif, who runs buses on different routes from Delhi to Uttar Pradesh,
03:28claims that everything from Delhi to Bagpat, Shamli and Deoband can be set.
03:51Asif explained the full calculation from Delhi entry all the way to the Uttar Pradesh routes.
03:57According to him, the cost for bus entry in Delhi was stated as 60,000 rupees to 70,000 rupees.
04:03He also detailed alleged payments at Delhi traffic signals, police posts and RTO.
04:30To identify the buses, alleged identifiers are also put.
04:34Asif claims there are marks for both Delhi and Uttar Pradesh.
04:38Once the mark is applied, the bus number gets registered and operations continue every month through payments.
04:46Do they want to film the public?
04:47The mark is being put in line?
04:51No, the mark is coming the trail.
04:51No, I just wonder you the mark is that a US and this is the model?
04:54The title is symbol of the map and the Dhilli.
04:58The mark is also the Uttar Pradesh.
04:58Do not use Delhi when it comes the market.
04:58The car is already out and the one walk has two marks.
05:02It includes US and Delhi.
05:05Do you want to film the same month or if it will only form one another month?
05:08No, it doesn't.
05:09The mark is still located.
05:10It is not completed.
05:11The link is also titled for the leader.
05:21Not just Delhi, alleged payments were also described on the Uttar Pradesh side.
05:27Beyond Khajuri, several police posts and RTOs come up till Ghaziabad, Baatpat and Deobat.
05:33According to Asif, by paying different amounts at these places,
05:36arrangements can be made to let the bus pass without hindrance.
05:54We asked how the buses still manage to get through despite such strict checking.
05:59Asif said that talking directly to officers costs more,
06:02while getting the work done through him can reduce the amount.
06:33This network is not limited to passenger buses, it also includes possibilities of goods transport.
06:39Nadeem and Asif said that once goods start moving in the buses,
06:43they also plan to make alleged entries with the sales tax department.
06:48Meaning, first passengers, then goods and alleged setting arrangements at every level.
06:54On one hand, Delhi is struggling with pollution.
06:57On the other hand, in our investigation, bus operators claim that through money and settings,
07:02buses can be run from Delhi to Uttar Pradesh without any obstruction.
07:06The question is not only about BS4 buses.
07:09The question is whether a network of alleged extortion is running in the name of the very departments
07:14responsible for enforcing transport rules in Delhi and Uttar Pradesh.
07:18Are grap and pollution restrictions only for common people or does a way exist to bypass them by paying money?
07:26These are the shocking claims that emerged in our investigation.
07:30Will police, traffic police, transport department and administration answer?
07:35With Nitin Jain, Bureau Report, India Today.
07:41And it gets worse.
07:43Buses are applying that are not supposed to enter International Capital's territory.
07:47Tickets are being sold, goods are being transported and there is no fear of action.
07:52But worse, it appears there's an arrangement already in this India Today investigation
07:56by my colleague Nitin Jain of our SIT team.
07:59A bus operator confessed on camera about what the cost is if you want to run a bus in Delhi,
08:06even though officially it is not allowed.
08:08But that's not the shocking part.
08:10The shocker is that it reaches different departments of the government at different levels.
08:16A full-on nexus.
08:18A report.
08:32These buses cover hundreds of kilometres from Delhi to NCR, from NCR to western Uttar Pradesh.
08:39They take passengers to their destinations.
08:42But the question is, do these buses have valid permission to run in Delhi?
08:50Or are these buses running their business by bypassing government rules using a corrupt
08:55nexus with cops and baboos?
09:05We met a bus operator named Rajbir, who gave us shocking details.
09:31Duggamari, meaning bus operations in which passengers are allegedly carried by sidelining valid permits and rules.
09:38But to run this business, only a bus and driver are not enough.
09:44According to Rajbir, to run a bus, they need to pay at every traffic signal.
10:25A point of 1,500 rupees to 2,000 rupees to run a bus in Delhi.
10:32But who gets the money and how?
10:37Rajbir's words raise serious questions over corruption on Delhi's roads.
11:19According to Rajbir, the entire arrangement is run through phone calls, and everyone from RTOs to police thanas has their
11:27cuts.
11:30For example, a Gurugram to Bareilly route comes at an expense of around 1,60,000 rupees.
11:51Rajbir reveals that despite the ban on non-BS6 buses, his connections get the buses plying.
11:58Rajbir's words ausgeprime infected.
12:03Do you need to do a diesel?
12:05It will start by a vehicle like couple of the bus.
12:08No, it will need to be betweenucken.iez4
12:11also took place the mobility and eye transport. Deal with
12:16the diesel's points as many cars areansing teachers and slapping的? It will
12:23drop also. How could
12:23it be done here? Do you
12:23have to use diesel? Do you
12:24need to clear the diesel? Is it
12:24worth putting diesel?
12:31The checks are stringent on paper to stop air pollution,
12:34but how effective are they on the roads?
12:37Is Delhi losing its war to the smog syndicate?
12:42With Nitin Jain, Bureau Report, India Today.
