This case is of march 2012, and wanted to inform to railways that my wife was traveling from gadarwara to kurla mumbai in rajendra nager express, in which we lost jewelry around inr 5 lacs that time, we have raised our complaint by filing fir, and zero fir at kurla mumbai.
The theft had happened near manmad junction,
However there has been no result for it after 5 years also, the fir has not generated any results and could not get our lost jewelry.
I want to complain here after seeing the recent thefts in rajdhani express, wanted to say if we pay a higher price for a second ac, how there is no proper safety provided by the railways, most of the thefts happen in 2 tier ac compartments where there is a lesser crowd.
The irony is how some one can get inside a coach and steal our valuables.
This loss has brought a lot of distress in our family, my wife lost all her jewelry and we were asked to run poll and pillars for making a fir which was also a tiresome task.
I was also going for a legal option to go against railway, however, dint do it thinking that there could be no recourse and it is already 4 to 5 years to that event.
I wanted to bring to your notice the kind of dilemma we face and there has been absolutely no recourse available if we are unlucky affected ones by that event.
I hereby wanted to ask whose is the primary responsibility for safety in trains, especially where we pay extra for additional comfort and safety, why we are put at higher risk than the ones in 3 tier ac or for that matter sleeper.
Hereby if there has been proper checks and control in place that time we wouldn't have lost our jewelry.
Security cameras should be there at least in a 3 tier ac compartments. Have thought railways being government will never take the responsibilities because person effects are to be taken care by passengers, however, if there are trespassers who perform such act responsibility surely lies with railways.
Indian Railways customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
