The case relates to an alleged bribe paid to Singla by Board member Mahesh Kumar for getting a posting of his choice. Bansal had to resign as Union Railway Minister early this month after his nephew and a few other persons were arrested by CBI in a case involving alleged payment of bribe for fixing a top level Railway Board position.
