Complainant Ashwani Kumar claimed that the passengers tried to reach the train attendant and TT after the incident and found them after 20 minutes.
The complainant claimed that when he could not find the TT or the attendant, he contacted the Delhi Police after which an FIR was registered at the destination station.
"... 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... ," Kumar wrote in his complaint.
Northern Railways CPRO has said that RPF has initial leads in the case and action will be taken against culprits.
