The Railway got alert when a passenger inside the train complained on its portal, saying, “Suddenly some 7 to 10 unidentified miscreants entered coaches B3 and B7 of the train. They were carrying sharp edged knives with them. They put the knife near to the neck of passengers and asked them to handover whatever expensive items they are carrying with them.”
The passenger wrote that the incident occurred for around 15-20 minutes and then the robbers have got down from the train.
He wrote, “The attendant told us that there was no security personnel available in the train. We are not safe even in AC coaches and imagine the security in sleeper class and general coaches where passengers enter the train even without tickets.”
Now, the Railway Protection Force and the police personnel should be apprehended.
