Derailed official

Rail Bhavan is abuzz with reports that one of the general managers of a Railways zone has been caught on camera in an embarrassing incident involving a woman. A formal complaint against the GM has been filed with the Railways Ministry and the complainant has also attached the incriminating CD of the episode with her complaint. Insiders reveal that the GM in question was a favourite of Railway Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav till some time back, having successfully handled many railway projects in Bihar, but has fallen foul of the minister now. The CD, meanwhile, has already been spotted in the markets of the area where the GM is posted. While those not particularly fond of the GM are smiling ear to ear over the episode, an embarrassed Ministry is doing what it can to prevent a controversy: pretend nothing has happened.
