Seven linen attendants held for letting 132 ticketless passengers travel in AC coach
Nashik: A significant breach of railway regulations has been uncovered on the 12519 LTT Kamakhya Express, leading to the arrest of seven linen attendants. The individuals have been accused of illegally allowing 132 passengers to travel in the AC-3 coach between Kalyan and Katihar (and beyond) in exchange for payments exceeding Rs3,000 per person. A senior railway official from the Bhusawal division reported that a joint team, comprising 12 travel ticket examiners and five Railway Protection Force (RPF) personnel, conducted a surprise inspection on the train as it travelled from Manmad to Bhusawal. "We had received complaints indicating that linen attendants were permitting passengers to travel within the linen storage compartments," a senior official said. "Given the nature of these activities, a dedicated team was formed to investigate. Our inspection revealed 132 individuals travelling without valid tickets within the train," the official added. Upon questioning, these unauthorized passengers reportedly identified the linen attendants, alleging that they had paid the attendants for permission to travel within the AC-3 coach. "The linen attendants were hired on a contractual basis. But based on the statement of the people and other evidence, the case of personating self as a railway employee under section 204 of BNS has been registered with the govt railway police, Manmad," the official said.
