Yesterday (20Sep2024) my uncle has travelled in this train from Durg to NZM in B4 coach and at night after the train departed from Gwalior Jn his luggage (A Trolley Suitcase) was stolen. The Suitcase was locked safely with ⛓️ chain beneath the lower berth on which my uncle was sleeping and the robbers cut the chain ⛓️ and stolen the Suitcase. In the morning when he woke up the suitcase was missing so it is assumed that it's been stolen in between Gwalior and Agra. FIR has been registered at NZM Rly Police Station.
The safety of the passenger and their luggage 🧳 is a serious concern in trains and even AC class is not safe and secure to travel.
