Railway Board officer alleges vacancy on TC and clerk posts
Mumbai: A person took advance of Rs 2 lakh each from six people on the pretext of getting them a job in Railways. The accused had described himself as a member of the Railway Board.
According to the information received from Kalachowki Police, complainant Anil Ghate (67) told in the complaint given to the police that one of his friends Sanjay Marle had introduced him to a person named Sushant Suryavanshi. Marley had told that Suryavanshi holds a big position in the Railway Board, Delhi.
Case background details
Ghate, who trains Kabaddi players at a ground near Ganesh Talkies in Lalbagh, said that in August 2021, when he was training the players, Suryavanshi came there. Suryavanshi told Ghate that there are vacancies for TC and Clerk in Railways and if anyone wants to do a job in Railways then let us know. When Ghate asked the players practicing Kabaddi at the same time, they all agreed.
Suryavanshi told Ghate that the total expenditure would be Rs 8 lakh, out of which Rs 2 lakh would have to be paid in advance. Sumit Sale, Milind Kolte, Trupti Bhatkar, Akshay Ghate, Nikhil Varkhandkar and Darshan Padave agreed to pay money to get jobs in the Railways. Akshay Ghate is the son of the complainant Ghate.
Of these, SAIL transferred Rs 2 lakh to Suryavanshi’s bank account, while Kolte transferred Rs 2 lakh from his wife’s bank account to Suryavanshi through RTGS. The remaining four people gave Rs 2 lakh each in cash to Suryavanshi.
A total of Rs 12 lakh was given to Suryavanshi
A police officer said that these six people had given a total of Rs 12 lakh to Suryavanshi. After taking money from these people in August 2021, Suryavanshi did not fill any form of these people and he did not even get any call from the Railways. Whenever these people asked Suryavanshi about the job, he used to avoid the matter. In May 2023, these people went to the CSMT Railway office and found out whether there was any person named Sushant Suryavanshi there or not; Then they came to know that there was no person with this name.
When these people went to RA Kidwai Marg, they came to know that Suryavanshi owned a small hotel there, after selling which he had gone to his village Perle, Taluka Karad, District Satara.
When they find out that Suryavanshi has no post in the Railways and has left Mumbai for his village, they realize that they have been cheated.
Case registered in Kalachowki police
All these people lodged a complaint with the Kalachowki police. Based on the complaint of these people, Kalachowki police has started investigation by registering an FIR against Sushant Suryavanshi under sections 406, 419, 420, 465 and 468 of IPC.
