Kishore Natwar Zala,a deputy station master at the Vadodara Railway Station,had on Thursday filed a complaint saying his colleague Sandeep Jawarhalal Soni,also a deputy station master,had promised him a total return of Rs 13.23 lakh while taking from him Rs 46,000 as initial investment.

Later,he filed a complaint against Soni and his accomplice Manoj Brahmbhatt,both railway employees,” said Inspector B M Tank of the GRP.

The duo has been remanded to police custody for four days.
