demanded and accepted a bribe of Rs.2.5 lakh from M/S DRS
Transport Private Ltd. against whom a case was registered
by CBI. Searches were conducted at Kumar's office & residence
in Patna and certain incriminating articles were recovered.
Shri Ranjit Kumar who was the investigating officer of the
case was transferred from Mumbai to Patna. He abused his official
position and made the private transport company to transport
his luggage from Mumbai to Patna free of cost while the company
had to incur an expenditure of about Rs.18,000/-. He was put
under suspension following this.
Shri K.S. Rai, Inspector has already been convicted for
