  • The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) busted a huge scam related to the supply of Indian railway's packaged drinking water known as Rail Neer.

    CBI had conducted a search operation at 13 places in Delhi and Noida and registered a case against 7 private companies.

    How did the Rail Neer scam work?
  • IRCTC was to provide Rail Neer to private caterers at Rs.10.50/bottle and the private caterers would be paid Rs.15/bottle for supplying them to passengers in premium trains.

    However, Rail Neer was not supplied by caterers and instead cheap packaged water was distributed in premium trains.

    This water is available in the market for Rs.6-7 and in this way, they earned huge profits.
