MUMBAI, June 5 -- The crime branch of the Government Railway Police (GRP) on Thursday arrested three of its personnel who were dismissed from service for extorting a jeweller at Mumbai Central railway station last year, a week after the Supreme Court revoked their anticipatory bail. The arrested GRP personnel-assistant sub-inspector (ASI) Lalit Ramchandra Jagtap, and head constables Rahul Datta Bhosale and Anil Sitaram Rathod-were attached to the Mumbai Central Railway Police Station. According to the police, the three GRP personnel had intercepted a Rajasthan-based jeweller, Kamalkumar Soni, on platform 5 at Mumbai Central around 10.30 pm on August 10 last year. They checked his bag and found a 14-gram gold piece, along with Rs.31,900 in cash. Despite Soni providing a satisfactory explanation regarding the items, the officers allegedly took him to a secluded room, mistreated him, and threatened him with legal action. In his complaint, Soni said that he did not protest as he feared missing his train and causing distress to his eight-year-old daughter, who was travelling with him. Following repeated requests, the accused officers returned the gold piece but allegedly kept Rs.30,000 in cash before letting him go. Soni later filed a complaint against the GRP personnel. While a sessions court rejected the three officers' pre-arrest bail pleas, the Bombay High Court allowed it in September 2025. The high court noted that there were no signs of distress on the jeweller's and his minor daughter's faces in CCTV footage of the alleged incident. On May 27, the Supreme Court set aside the order and criticised the high court for what it termed a "cryptic order" based largely on CCTV footage, a delay in lodging the FIR, and the officers' clean service records....
