Rail Neer scam: CBI to dig deep, to probe company, society of Railway officials

October 18, 2015 16:11

A company and a society, linked to suspended railway officials facing CBI probe in connection with alleged corruption in supply of packaged drinking water in premium trains, have come under the agency's scanner which suspects these were used for camouflaging illegal remittances received from private caterers.

CBI sources said Sandeep Silas, a 1984-batch Indian Railway Traffic Service officer, has been involved in a project of his own, besides, being a very active player in the cultural scene of the national capital. The project run by Silas, Garland of Peace, has come under the scanner of the agency which will see weather any bribes were paid through it, they said, adding that all funds which came to the project and other cultural activities of Silas would also be probed.

Sources said a company run by the son of M S Chaliam, another Railway officer facing CBI probe in the case, has also come under the probe of the agency.
