[Resolved] Northern Indian Railways — thieving on kalka mail train/gang of swindlers present at old delhi railway station | |
My new ADIDAS joggers got stolen from the A2 coach of Kalka Mail(12312) train by a gang of swindlers when the train had stopped at Old Delhi Railway Station early in the morning. They faked themselves to be waiters/attendants on the coach and tricked me while asking several times if I'd take lunch. I did not even imagine such a thing happening in an executive coach of an elite train like Kalka Mail! The attendant was also not present in the coach by the time I realized to complain while approaching Tundla. I had checked all over the coach with the help of co-passengers but to no avail! Presence of such miscreants can also be attributed to another of my experiences on Unchahaar Express 2 years ago, while the train was stationed at Old Delhi in the early morning hours. I noticed a shabby-looking, unkempt boy looking all around the vacated berths and finally came and perched on a side-lower berth close to me, with his eyes glued to my laptop bag. I was on the lower berth and in a moment he came and sat on my feet with his eyes fixed on my laptop bag. I was frightened. I requested him to go and sit somewhere else when he at once disappeared out of my sight. The very next moment I saw a policeman following him through the coach. I was fortunate to have been safe that day, but we should not be rest assured. Both the above experiences were highly disgusting. The safety and security of passengers in the Indian Railways is now questionable. Being a girl, my parents allow me to travel alone in a 2AC compartment of trains like Kalka Mail and Unchahaar, but now it's a matter of grave concern. Why should one pay more for a 2AC just to get robbed? I'm sure of a gang of swindlers present at Old Delhi Railway Station.The matter should be looked into and corrective measures should be taken at once to avoid inconvenience to future passengers. These incidents are warning sign to beware as this may just be the beginning of something heinous the way such swindlers are given liberty to have their own way! Was this information helpful? | |

How are such miscreants/swindlers even allowed to board the train unnecessarily even without a ticket?
