Patiala, March 12 (IANS) A chief engineer of the railway coach factory (RCF) who was arrested from Kapurthala town in Punjab Tuesday on bribery charges was Wednesday remanded to judicial custody for 14 days by a court here. Chief Engineer J.K. Singla was arrested from his RCF complex home Tuesday after the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) laid a trap.
He had demanded a bribe of Rs.700,000 from a railway contractor to clear his bills and had accepted Rs.100,000 out of the demand. CBI officials recovered the money from Singla’s possession.

This is tip of big iceberg. RCF-Kapurthala is famous for corruption. As soon as CBI raid news spreads, many offiers went under ground and did not slept at their residence.
During my bried stay in RCF in winters of 2007- came to know big scandals but neither people nor media had given due attention to national wastage and tax payers money being looted by a small group of officers.
Officers incharge of procurements, stores and other vital chairs had made millions by unfair means. I have seen huge chunks of medicines and when inquired, came to know that medicine is being sold in open market by pharmacists.
Bulk orders are made and fav. agencies are provided tenders in RCF for medicines and rumors were hot that Kashmiri you working in hospital is having no ligitimate qualification and serving on fake certificates but as he is popular with officers..no officers dares to touch him.

CBI under pressure to hush up the case.Wide spread rumor is that RCF officers are camping in DELHI- requesting BARODA HOUSE for transfers. This is in light of nexus of officers which had made millions by corruption. Hospital is small fish but big level of corruption is reported from the time present GM joins RCF.
We are not sure if CBI will ever look into further deep revelations of Mr.J.K Singla as this is openly known that some more were involved in this contractor scandal.
