Mumbai: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Tuesday told the Bombay high court that it will file a chargesheet against four Railway Protection Force (RPF) personnel in the fake bail bond scam by month-end.
A division bench of Justices A M Khanwilkar and K K Tated was informed by additional solicitor general Kevic Setalvad that although the CBI has identified 23 persons, it has sufficient evidence against nine RPF personnel. “We require to sanction against five under Prevention of Corruption Act. We shall file a chargesheet against the remaining four by January 31,” he said. He further said one of the four persons, who was the overall incharge of the RPF, was the “main perpetrator” of the scam.
Setalvad also told the court that with regard to the remaining 14 persons, loose ends need to be tied up as evidence was destroyed after a fire in 2010. “Do whatever is possible,” said Justice Khanwilkar. The judges, in their order, said they hope the authorities concerned will grant sanction for prosecution of the five RPF personnel expeditiously and within reasonable time. Adjourning the hearing to February 11, they directed the investigating officer to file a further compliance report by then.
The HC was hearing a PIL, filed by Sameer Zaveri of Railway Suburban Passengers Association, stating that the RPF personnel posted at Kurla station during 2008-2009 booked commuters for trespassing and crossing tracks and released them on fake cash bail bonds, hence misappropriating the money. In August 2011, the HC handed over the probe to the CBI. The HC had at the earlier hearing rapped the CBI for dragging its feet in probe and seeking adjournments.
