The Anti Corruption Bureau of the Central Bureau of Investigation has booked a case of corruption against Railway Police Force (RPF) Inspector Amit Kumar Roy and RPF constable Rajesh Deshpande for taking a bribe of Rs 3,000.
According to CBI officials,Roy had found a few advertisements pasted on railway compartments with contact details of an electrician. Roy allegedly contacted the electrician and pointed that his advertisements violated Railway rules. Roy also told him that he would have to pay a penalty of Rs 2 lakh.
Roy then asked the electrician to pay a bribe of Rs 50,000. The amount after negotiation was brought down to Rs 10,000. However,on July 20,the electrician was detained by Roy and constable Deshpande after he failed to bring the amount.
