Two Mumbai GRP Constables Suspended Over Alleged Gutkha Transport Facilitation
Two Government Railway Police constables in Mumbai, Anil Gujar and Tushar Thakur, were suspended following a departmental inquiry triggered by a citizen's complaint. They are alleged to have facilitated the transportation of banned gutkha from Gujarat to Mumbai via several long-distance trains, including the Suryanagari Express and Golden Temple Mail. The consignments were reportedly concealed in AC coaches and storage compartments, with payments made to storage contractors and some security personnel to allow the transport. The inquiry was ordered by Railway Police Commissioner Rakesh Kalasagar.
