2 Railway Officials Among 3 Arrested By CBI For Accepting Bribe
Last week, the CBI Mumbai unit arrested three accused, including two railway officials working with a rail-coach manufacturing unit located in Uttar Pradesh, in connection with an alleged bribery case. The CBI acted on a complaint filed by a promoter of a Mumbai firm that supplies medical and pharmacy products.
The accused, including Chief Depot Material Superintendent (CDMS) & a Ward Officer of Modern Coach Factory, Raebareli and a private person, had demanded and accepted bribe of Rs 30,000 from the complainant to clear the consignments supplied by his company.
"It was alleged that accused officers from Modern Coach Factory (MCF), Raebareli demanded bribe for approval of items (safety spectacles) supplied by complainant’s trading firm, having office at Prabhadevi, Mumbai in response to online tender floated by MCF, Raebareli. In compliance of said purchase order, the complainant allegedly had earlier dispatched bulk supply of items to MCF," CBI said in a statement.
The complaint was allegedly called several times by the accused who demanded bribe to approve his material. However, the complainant neglected thei demand, following which he was served a letter of rejection.
When he complained about it, the CBI laid a trap and asked the complainant to transfer Rs 30,000 through G-pay. The payment was confirmed by the accused, and the CBI arrested all three of them at Raebareli. CBI also conducted searches at their residential and official premises during which they found incriminating documents. Further investigation into the case is underway.
