Cleared by the CVC of all charges, ICF engineer has alleged a 2-year malicious campaign against him
Shubhranshu, the engineer who led Team ICF that made Train18, which was later flagged off as Vande Bharat Express, has formally written to the Railway Board alleging that a malicious campaign was on in the last two years to destroy his career.
With the Central Vigilance Commission exonerating him of all charges, the then Principal Chief Mechanical Engineer of the Integral Coach Factory (ICF) in Chennai, has written to the Ministry of Railways that he should be elevated as General Manager as per rules and then considered for promotion as Chairman Railway Board and Chief Executive Officer, sources in the Railways told The Hindu on Thursday. Mr. Shubhranshu is presently Chief Administrative Officer, Rail Wheel Plant in Bela.
“The malicious campaign, lasting over two years, to malign me and destroy my career has finally been called out by the CVC, who have exonerated me in all vigilance cases fabricated against me. Now, my position in the GM panel for the years 2019-20, 2020 and 2021 should be restored and all benefits granted,” the sources quoted Mr. Shubhranshu as saying in his letter to the Chairman, Railway Board/Chief Executive Officer.
