MP Orders Probe of Turkish Firm for Indore Metro Contract
The Madhya Pradesh government is investigating a Turkish company called AEBS, which is in charge of collecting fares for the Indore Metro.
The government is checking if the company is involved in anything that could be against India.
This investigation was started after the Congress party raised concerns about the company's potential links to defense.
The Congress party pointed out that a part of AEBS makes drones that were supposedly used by Pakistan in the past.
This is why the government is looking into the matter to make sure everything is safe and secure for the metro.

The Turkish firm is Asis Elektronik ve Biliim Sistemleri (AEBS).
