A 20-member team of the central agency raided the place when the three were receiving the amount from Jayanta Kumar Mohanty, owner of the eatery, for non-eviction of the dhaba which has been constructed on a patch of land of the Railways Department.

The RPF personnel had earlier demanded Rs 50,000 from Jayanta and the deal was later settled at Rs 10,000. Jayanta had then reported the matter to the CBI.
