Indian Railways — Theft of personal luggage on train

Address:

Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh

Date/Time of Incident:- 26/07/2015 08:21 AM PNR number of Victim (Myself - K. PANDEY M 35):- [protected] Train number/name:- 11016/KUSHINAGAR EXP I was travelling from LKO to LTT with my wife and 2 sons, and after boarding the train at LKO we all went to sleep when the train was around CNB. Once the train halted at Jhansi station, my wife woke up to notice one of our luggage missing from under our berth no. 10. I have 100% suspicion (and a witness as well) on the particular co-passengers in my compartment, complete details are below: There was one woman on the berth no. 7 in my compartment, who had ticket from Gorakhpur to Jhansi with a small girl around 5 yrs in age, and was accompanied by another man who boarded train at lucknow, and was without ticket, and had got his forged ticket made from the TTE (for around Rs. 500/-) and the TTE gave him berth no. - 5 in the neighboring compartment, and that man kept coming to our compartment to sit with the woman time to time, and got down with the woman at JHN. 1. PNR [protected] | Sayeeda F 30 | GKP to JHN 2. Without Ticket traveller Male ~34 | boarder at LKO and got down at JHN There was one passenger, R.P. Yadav M 58 PNR - [protected], who was brushing his teeth at Jhansi and saw the above mentioned suspect man getting down at Jhansi station along with my light-grey suitcase (it was a big suitcase). Details of the Luggage:- Light-Grey 28 inch VIP suitcase, plastic body and single trolley. Contents:- my marriage-certificate (also my Voter ID), 8-10 new Saris/Suits, jewelry (payals), mine and children clothes, one cloth sari-bag. There was no GRP/RP etc staff present in the coach/train and even no GRP staff showed up even when continuous announcements were made at Jhansi station for them to reach Coach A1, and even waited for them by pulling chain 3 times, at Jhansi station, this was a really unprofessional and irresponsible behavior from GRP and RP staff, as if they would have reacted quickly the criminals could have been caught. I strongly put my case for compensation of Rs. 51000/- which is the estimated cost of the damages done to me due to the theft incident, in which Railways staffs irresponsible and unprofessional behavior is utmost responsible: 1. Letting the man (one of prime suspect) who was without ticket to travel in the AC II tier coach, for which the TTE at LKO station took rs ~500/- for this. 2. No response from GRP/RP staff when announcements were being made continuously at Jhansi station, where the incident took place. I am attaching the copy of the FIR form that I filled up with the TTE at Jhansi, it has almost all the information of the incident. Thanks, K. Pandey. Mob: [protected], [protected]
