What is the whole matter?
The complainant was handling the parking work at Mulund railway station on behalf of a private company. It is alleged that in February 2025, the station master came to him and started asking for a bribe of Rs 10,000 every month. He said that if he is given a bribe every month, he will ignore the complaints and allow the parking work to run smoothly.
Contractor harassed for not paying bribe

Strict steps are being taken against corruption and the culprits will not be spared. After this incident, questions are being raised about curbing corruption in the railway.
