Pakistan Railways has taken the decision to suspend nine guards due to allegations of corruption.
The scandal ensued with the dissemination of an audio tape in which a train guard was heard collecting bribes from a passenger, causing widespread attention and discussion.
The Senior General Manager of Pakistan Railways promptly responded to the situation and suspended the guards and ticket checkers implicated in the scam.
Nine guards from the traffic and commercial staff of Multan Division were suspended as a result of the investigation.
One of the individuals who has been suspended is a guard named Mansoor Safri. It is alleged that Safri assisted passengers in traveling from Lahore to Bahawalpur without tickets by collecting bribes.
Furthermore, it was disclosed that Safri, who was working on the Tezgam train, received bribes in order to permit passengers to travel in the AC class, in response to a request made by another guard named Shahid.
