Railway Protection Force probing 'cash for seats' videos

MUMBAI: Railway Protection Force (RPF) top brass is verifying video clips shot by a

whistleblower

alleging corruption by men in uniform.

Six video clips show uniformed personnel talking to passengers and the whistleblower claimed cash was being accepted for allocating seats in unreserved compartments of long-distance trains at CSMT. In some videos, personnel can be seen pocketing something.

"We are trying to identify the personnel in the clips and which force they belong to. The location too is not clear. The videos have been shot over several days at different platforms. We will check CCTV footage of all platforms to verify the clips," said a senior officer.
