Scania bus row: Gadkari’s office calls report baseless

Media reports about gifting of a bus by Swedish bus manufacturer Scania to Union Minister Nitin Gadkari are “malicious, fabricated and baseless”, the Minister’s office said on Thursday. It was responding to a Swedish media investigation about a purported transaction between Scania and an unnamed Indian company that supposedly has close connections to members of Transport Minister Mr. Gadkari’s family.
