The CBI, Bengaluru on Wednesday raided 11 locations across different States and busted a racket in cornering railway tickets.
The Anti Corruption Branch (ACB) of the CBI registered a case against Shahid, assistant manager, IRCTC, New Delhi and others.
The CBI has said, “The accused had allegedly conspired and interfered with the IRCTC booking system by installing a software programme in the computers at various travel agents’ offices by which the agent can book six separate tickets, each for six passengers per ticket, i.e. 36 passengers in one go, where as in normal course an agent can book tickets only for six passengers at a time.”
The travel agents cornered tickets, which were then sold at higher prices.
CBI claims to have recovered incriminating documents, hard disks, tatkal tickets and material used for creation of multiple IRCTC windows. Sleuths also raided vendors of New Trained Software, which was used by the racketeers.
