"The Central Bureau of Investigation has arrested two then Chief Commercial Managers (Catering), Northern Railways and a Director of Delhi based private firm in an on-going investigation of a case for causing an alleged loss to Govt. Exchequer," the CBI said in a statement.
"The arrested accused were produced today before the Duty Magistrate at Patiala House Courts, New Delhi and remanded to one day police custody," it said.
"It may be recalled that a case was registered against two then Chief Commercial Managers (Catering), Northern Railways and seven private firms based at Delhi on the allegations that the accused had shown favour to these private firms in supply of cheap packaged drinking water (PDW) other than mandatory “Rail Neer” in premium trains including Rajdhani and Shatabdi Express," the national probe agency said.
"During investigation, searches were conducted at various places in Delhi and Noida which led to recovery of cash amount of Rs.28 crore(approx) and a large number of incriminating documents. The alleged incriminating documents are being scrutinized," the CBI said.
The CBI said further investigation is continuing in the case.
