Rajasthan Railway Constable Arrested Over Alleged ₹70,000 Bribe
The Anti-Corruption Bureau, or ACB, investigates suspected bribery.
It says railway constable Mohammad Nadeem Qureshi asked a person for money.
The person said Qureshi threatened to accuse him in a railway-material theft case.
The alleged demand began at ₹1 lakh.
After discussions, it was lowered to ₹70,000.
The ACB arranged a trap after checking the complaint.
Officials say they arrested Qureshi while he was taking the money at the complainant’s home.
The case is now being investigated under India’s anti-corruption law.
The Rajasthan Anti-Corruption Bureau arrested railway constable Mohammad Nadeem Qureshi in Sawai Madhopur on August 31, 2026.
The ACB alleged that Qureshi demanded ₹1 lakh to avoid implicating a complainant in a railway-material theft case.
After negotiations, the alleged demand was reduced first to ₹80,000 and then to ₹70,000.
The ACB said Qureshi came to the complainant’s residence to collect the money and was arrested during a trap operation.
Officials said the money was recovered and a case was registered under the Prevention of Corruption Act.
