I fully empathize with Ms. and Mr. Jha and his family. Long back only Hatia -Amritsar Express was the only direct train in between Delhi and Ranch. The same thing would happen frequently. The pantry-car people serving food would target such passangers with costly luggage and would serve them food laced with tranquilizers to steal their luggage. Many of my relatives and friends have suffered. In the post-independence era even highly paid officials including perhaps the ministers may be involved in such kind of activities as such things are not possible to happen without the connivance of the higher authorities.

Rail Bhavan, Bharat Sarakar, New Delhi. sub : Mischivious act in Rajdhani Express class - 2A. Ref : Train No.2439/RNC NDLS Raj. Exp. Class A2/oo31/LB. & A2/oo33/LB. PNR : 6328765989 Dt. journey 22/07/09. RANCHI---NEW DELHI. I Keshav jha 66 along with my wife Pratima jha 62 boarded the train as refered above on 22/07/09 at 1720 hrs. in Ranchi in a way to meet my family at sheffield / uk. At about 2030 hrs. we were served dinners with loose curds whose taste was unpleasant,within mts. we slept like dead men/senseless and our two big suite cases were stollen from the under space of my wife`s berth., we could awake only at 0630 hrs.23/07 after Kanpur, aproaching New delhi.The train reached New delhi Rly stn. at about 1100 hrs. 23/07/09.and we found that both of our suite cases had been stollen. on asking the concerned waiter and the care taker of the compartment they behaved very rudely and put off the light within 3 to 4 mts. during the discussion, which is itself very unnatural at the stn.We then analysed their suspecious behavior of serving curds during last night peculear pick and choose method of serving make to understand us that, they had mixed up some intoxicating thing / sleeping pills etc. in that. We were shocked badly because our whole things like some valuables, clothes,money, Air Tickets along with even the PASSPORTS ,all had gone.Our agony can be imagined, but can it happen without the connivance / concpiracy of the contracter ,rail emloyee and the police ! We passangers are supposed to be assured for the safe and pleasant journey in a prestigious class like this. Any way after informing the concerned police I/c of the plateform we lodged the FIR in railway police at plateform no. 1 new delhi stn.(vide FIR no. 0275/09 dt.23/07/09.) and left the place to face other more formalities ahead to get fresh passports & visas and the new air tickets. In the mean time, by the grace of god , on 26/07/09 1000 hrs. one my freind at BOKARO STEEL CITY after getting a call from JHANCI JN. railway stn.informed me at delhi that, one of my suite cases along with the passport had been located in jhanci jn. rail stn.( the passports were having bokaro steel city addresses when i was serving in Bokaro Steel Plant 10 yrs. back).Immediately we approached the concerned man at Jhanci Parcel office and decided to reach there. On 27/07/09 I got one of my suite cases with the passports (boon for us) from jhanci parcel office without costly valuables.It had been brought to our knowledge that the suite case had been deposited there by rail police who had got it from the railway track on 24/07/09.
