MUMBAI, Aug. 25 -- The Government Railway Police (GRP) have suspended three of their constables for allegedly extorting Rs.5,000 from a passenger at the Vasai Road Railway Station on June 13. The suspended constables were identified as Milind Satav, Sachin Valve, and Kiran Aavle. According to the suspension order, on the evening of June 13, Prabhu and his friend were talking to each other on the foot overbridge (FOB) at the Vasai Road railway station. Despite no misconduct or unlawful activity on their part, Satav and Valve approached them and allegedly seized Prabhu's phone. They took the passengers to the railway police chawki set up in a room within the Vasai Road railway station premises. As per Prabhu's complaint, the chawki had no CCTV cameras. While keeping them in illegal detention, the cops allegedly also threatened to arrest the passengers for suspicious activity and loitering. They then demanded a penalty of Rs.15,000. Eventually, constable Aavle facilitated an online payment of Rs.5,000 via a UPI QR Code belonging to a money transfer agent outside the railway station. This was done without issuing any official receipt or citing legal provisions for the imposition. Following Prabhu's complaint, the GRP authorities conducted a departmental inquiry and found the allegations to be credible. Consequently, the three constables were suspended, as per the suspension order dated August 1, a copy of which was recently made available. Five days ago, three GRP officers were suspended after three cops extorted Rs.30,000 from a Rajasthan-based businessman at the Mumbai Central station....
