Mysuru: An employee of the railways here has been arrested for alleged misappropriation of railway money.

Vijay Kumar Teran, the commercial clerk at the Bengaluru East Railway Station was nabbed on Saturday for swindling railway money to the tune of Rs 65 lakh.

The misappropriation came to light during the annual financial auditing. Instantly the accused was handed over to the Railway Protect Force, Bengaluru division. Based on circumstantial evidence, RPF authorities arrested Vijay Kumar.

Though a commercial clerk is required to remit the collection on daily basis, Kumar had reportedly not done the same and had also gobbled a part of the money while remitting the collected amount.
