New Delhi, October 9: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has arrested three individuals, including the Chief Depot Material Superintendent (CDMS), a Ward Officer of Modern Coach Factory, Raebareli, and a private person, for demanding and accepting a bribe of Rs 30,000 from the complainant, a promoter of a Mumbai-based company, in exchange for clearing consignments supplied by his firm, according to a CBI press release. A case was registered by the CBI against the three accused, including the CDMS, the Ward Officer of Modern Coach Factory, Raebareli, and a private individual.
It is alleged that the officers from Modern Coach Factory, Raebareli, demanded a bribe for approving items (safety spectacles) supplied by the complainant's trading firm, based in Prabhadevi, Mumbai, in response to an online tender floated by the factory. The complainant had already dispatched a bulk supply of the items in compliance with the purchase order.
