#Jammu-Delhi Duronto
Express: The alleged robbery took place at around 3:30 am in #Badli in the
outskirts of Delhi.
NEW DELHI: Around 3.30
am, passengers on a train that had stopped in Delhi were stunned by robbers who #looted them at #knifepoint. The group barged into two AC coaches of the
Jammu-Delhi Duronto Express at Badli on the outskirts of the capital, when the
train was waiting for the signal to proceed to the main station in Delhi.
The robbers allegedly looted cash, bags,
mobile phones and gold chains from the passengers.
The railways were
alerted by a passenger's complaint on its portal. "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 person wrote.
The passenger said the
horror lasted for 10 to 15 minutes before the robbers jumped off the train.
"The irony is that neither staff nor security personnel were available
there at the time of the mishap," he claimed in his complaint.
Frantic passengers
reportedly looked for the train attendant and the ticket examiner (TT) and
found them after 20 minutes. By then, the men had escaped.
"... 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...
," the passenger wrote.
The Railway Protection
Force has early leads in the case and action will be taken against the robbers,
said a Northern Railways official.
