MUMBAI, Aug. 9 -- The Mumbai unit of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has booked 11 accused persons, including a joint director and deputy director of the Regional Plant Quarantine Station (RPQS), a unit of the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, in an alleged corruption case where they collected bribes to carry out official work. According to the CBI, the accused public servants allegedly demanded and accepted bribes from Customs clearing agents for routine official work. The CBI registered the case on July 17 against the 10 public servants and a private Customs clearing agent. As per the First Information Report (FIR), one accused paid the agent Rs.25,000 per month to collect bribes from other agents. These bribes were collected to expedite inspection and clearance processes, particularly for time-sensitive perishable goods and selective inspection practices, wherein suspects would selectively inspect consignments while allowing others to pass without proper examination in exchange for monetary considerations. A search was carried out on July 16 based on information from a source. "From the disclosures made by the suspects in presence of the Joint Surprise Check team and panchas, it has transpired that the unaccounted money of Rs.2,26,400 had been accepted by suspect public servants... for doing their routine official work," a CBI source said....
