CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: In a significant development in the land-for-jobs case, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has alleged that the Railway Ministry exerted undue pressure to expedite the approval of job applications. According to the CBI, irregular appointments were made in exchange for land parcels gifted or transferred to individuals linked to public officials. The agency claims that several candidates were recruited without following due process, allegedly at the insistence of senior officials within the ministry. These revelations point to a larger network of corruption and favoritism operating behind the scenes, raising serious concerns about transparency and accountability within one of India’s most crucial ministries.
The case is part of an ongoing investigation into alleged quid pro quo arrangements during past government tenures. The CBI has reportedly collected documentary evidence and recorded statements from several railway officials and beneficiaries. While the ministry has not yet officially responded to the latest claims, opposition leaders have seized the opportunity to demand strict action and accountability. As the probe deepens, this case could have wide-ranging implications for the credibility of recruitment processes in public sector institutions across India.
