According to reports from the Amar Ujala network, the officials were caught while allegedly taking a bribe of 50,000 rupees.

The agency is currently conducting a thorough investigation to determine the extent of the corruption and whether other individuals are involved.
Following the arrests, the officials were taken into custody by the CBI. This incident has raised serious questions regarding the claims of transparency and integrity within government offices. Senior railway officials have acknowledged the gravity of the situation, and a departmental inquiry is expected to follow.
The raid has become a major topic of discussion among the public and railway employees. The swift action by the CBI has created an atmosphere of apprehension among those involved in corrupt practices.
The CBI is expected to file a charge sheet in the case in the coming days. For now, the interrogation of the two accused continues, and authorities may also investigate their bank accounts and other assets as part of the ongoing probe into this corruption case.
