Rail Neer scam: Delhi HC refuses to quash FIR, notes Rs 19.5 cr loss caused to Railways
The Delhi High Court has refused to quash an FIR registered in 2015 against two catering companies and an individual for allegedly causing a loss of Rs 19.5 crore to the Railways by selling cheaper packaged water in Rajdhani and Shatabdi trains in place of Rail Neer. The high court said the report by an official of the Railway Board that no loss was caused to the railways as the Rail Neer if not picked up by the petitioners was anyway sold somewhere else cannot be considered at this stage.
It said the question is of loss incurred to the Railways due to the claiming of reimbursement by catering companies for the unsold Rail Neer, packaged water supplied by railway PSU IRCTC.
