Two Government Railway Police constables in Mumbai have been suspended for allegedly enabling the smuggling of gutkha from Gujarat to the city via trains. Anil Gujar, stationed at Borivali GRP, and Tushar Thakur from Vasai GRP, are the personnel suspended by Railway Police Commissioner Rakesh Kalasagar. The suspension came after a complaint was lodged by a citizen alleging that the constables cooperated with gutkha suppliers to transport the product.
The alleged method of transport involved carrying the gutkha in concealed compartments within AC coaches, storage areas, and black bags. Suppliers reportedly paid storage contractors, and some Railway Protection Force and other personnel were said to have been paid to facilitate the consignments. The gutkha was reportedly loaded in Vasai or Borivali and transported by taxis, using various long-distance trains such as Suryanagari Express, Golden Temple Mail, Garib Rath Express, Awadh Express, Bhavnagar Express, and Haridwar Express, with many arriving at Bandra Terminus.
