Ferozepur, June 13 -- The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has arrested two employees of the Ferozepur railway division in connection with an alleged bribery case involving a departmental disciplinary matter. The case stems from a complaint filed by Pawan Kumar, a senior clerk posted in the divisional railway manager (DRM) office, Ferozepur, in the last week of April. In his complaint, Kumar alleged that the accused officials demanded Rs.60,000 in exchange for securing relief in disciplinary proceedings initiated against him in connection with three chargesheets. It was further alleged that after the complainant refused to pay the demanded amount, a departmental penalty was imposed upon him. Acting on the complaint, the CBI laid a trap and nabbed Dharmbir, a senior section engineer in the power department, and Vijay Kumar, technician-I in the carriage and wagon department, were apprehended. Investigators are reportedly examining the possible involvement of other railway officials and employees, as well as the role of the unidentified public servant whose name surfaced during the inquiry. The CBI has registered a case under Section 61(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023, along with Sections 7 and 7A of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, as amended in 2018. The CBI has not issued any official statement regarding the matter. Railway authorities in the Ferozepur division also declined to comment. Repeated calls and text messages sent to the divisional railway manager seeking a response did not receive any reply.HTC...
