SUB : COMPENSATION DEMAND OF 1.5LACS AGAINS RAILWAY THEFT OF OUR BAGGAGE FROM TRAIN DATED 14.4.2013.

SIR,

My wife Mrs. Kavita Yadav, my son Mr. Nitaaksh Yadav and myself Mr. Anurag Yadav lost our Blue Colour Sky Bag Trolley dated 14.4.2013 from BSB ADI EXP(Train No. 19408) from Coach S2(25/28) wide PNR no. [protected] at around 1am in night. We were asleep while the theft was carried out. We woke up at around 2 am and came to know that we have lost our baggage. When enquired with the passengers in our Coach, two passengers were awake and told us that they saw the thief with our Blue Colour Trolley bag getting down at Bareilly station saying he has to catch another train. He was of short height in middle age of 35-45 and was wearing a cap.
Our belongings were worth 1.5lacs(1 gold mangalsutra,1gold chain, 2 gold hand rings, 2 gold ear rings, clothes worth 25k and bag of 4k). Approximate value of 1.5lacs and above.

There was no security personals of GRP or RPF or Squad present in the train as confirmed by the then TTE Mr. Arun Kumar. WHY????

We had filed a complain at the next station of Moradabad at around 3am and submitted and received a copy of the complain by constable Mr. Avnish Kumar of GRP in the presence of ASI of RPF Mr. Birendrasinh Bisht. There were 4-5 constables of GRP at the Moradabad station while we were writing the complain and few of them were LAUGHING as if they had not responsibilities to be fulfilled towards our complain. There were no contact details were we could complain in the train so that the investigation against the theft could be started immediately by the cops as it was hardly 1.5 hour since our baggage was lost.

We are middle class family working hard day and night to earn and fulfill our livelihoods. It feels very agonizing and painful when our HARD EARNED MONEY is simply taken away by a local group railway thief so easily and after that also no strong efforts being made by the cops against the crime.

Are the railway passengers responsible for the theft of their belongings in train while travelling???

How can any bloody thief get away so easily after doing a theft from the TRAIN. I think it’s a big and serious issue with the security of passengers and their belongings in INDIAN RAILWAYS. He will gain confidence and make another victim of his crime again and again.

HOW WILL THIS BE STOPPED???

WITH THE PRESENT EXPERIENCE , I DON’T THINK INDIA CAN EVER BECOMA A ZERO CRIME NATION AND SUCH CALOUS ATTITUDES OF THE RESPONSIBLE PUBLIC SERVANTS WILL ONLY ADD TO CRIMES OF THE NATION INSTEAD OF MINIMIZIING IT.

I STRONGLY DEMAND FOR COMPENSATION OF 1.5LACS OF MY BAGGAGE AND STRICT ACTION BEING TAKEN AGINST THE CRIMINAL.

YOURS FAITHFULLY,

ANURAG YADAV
