Rail-gate

Former Railway Minister Pawan Kumar Bansal today had a brush with the media in Chandigarh, barely hours after returning from New Delhi where he quit from the union cabinet. The city press club has sought an apology from him.

As two of the government's senior ministers - smeared with scams - bowed out on Friday, their unprecedented exit has also dealt a blow to what is being called the Prime Minister's Punjab club.

Railway Minister Pawan Kumar Bansal and Law Minister Ashwani Kumar drove up to the 7 Race Course Road residence of the Prime Minister this evening and handed letters of resignation.

Pawan Kumar Bansal and Ashwani Kumar have resigned as Railway and Law Minister respectively. While Mr Bansal was embroiled in a bribery scam, Mr Kumar is in the dock for having allegedly vetted the CBI's probe report on the coal scam.

Railway Minister Pawan Kumar Bansal, the first Congressman to hold the key portfolio in 17 years, has been sacked, sparking speculation that Law Minister Ashwani Kumar, also caught in controversy, could be next.

As the CBI continues to investigate the Railways bribery scandal, more damning details have now allegedly emerged against Railway Minister Pawan Kumar Bansal. Sources say the CBI is likely to interrogate him soon and a decision on whether he will continue in the government is likely to be taken at a Congress core group meeting tomorrow.

The Central Bureau of investigation has reportedly ordered and internal inquiry to find out if someone from within the agency alerted senior railway employee Mahesh Kumar's family ahead of a raid at his place.

New details emerging from the CBI's investigation of a bribery scandal have made it increasingly untenable for Railway Minister Pawan Kumar Bansal to continue in office and there is much speculation that he might resign soon.

An industrialist, who is accused in the Rs 10 crore bribery case, which also involves Railways Minister Pawan Kumar Bansal's nephew, was arrested after he surrendered at the Patiala House court in Delhi.
