Bureau Prayagraj. A case of theft of a bag full of jewelery and cash of a 51-year-old woman traveling in Magath Express has come to light. The victim's family alleges that despite seeking help from RPF and GRP after the incident, no immediate complaint was registered. The woman's daughter Nishu Singh has complained to the Railways in the matter.
According to the family, the incident happened at Prayagraj Junction at around 6 am on October 13. It is alleged that a young man reached the train coach and snatched the woman's bag and ran away. The bag contained other items including a gold chain, two rings, two earrings, Rs 15,000 in cash, mobile phone, debit and credit cards.
15 thousand rupees withdrawn from debit card
The family says that after the bag was stolen, a message came to withdraw Rs 15,000 from the woman's debit card. This transaction was said to have taken place from an ATM located in Tularambagh, Prayagraj. This information was also given to RPF, but the family alleges that they had to worry for action to be taken.
Islampur GRP also accused of not taking complaints
According to family members, after reaching her destination Islampur, the woman tried to lodge a complaint with the GRP, but initially the complaint was not taken up. It is alleged that later details of the incident were written on plain paper and signed, yet the complaint was not accepted immediately.
