More than a month ago, the BMC's 'A' ward office had complained at the MRA Marg Police Station about collection of illegal parking charges. A company called R T Corporation, which had got the contract for running a civic Pay and Park facility at Hutatma Chowk, was found to be overcharging people. The BMC charges Rs 20 per hour for car parking in its public parking lots. But this contractor was allegedly charging Rs 100 per hour. The contractor allegedly was also giving forged receipts to motorists.
Two employees of the company were arrested by the police and an FIR has been filed against them under section 465, 468, 420 of the IPC. The police is now looking for the owner of the company.
