The railway authority of India is considering this as not just a simple case of robbery. Because people got injured and a child got kidnapped. It was very much scary as well as shocking for the passengers.
The dacoits were so daring that they went on with their operation even in presence of the two rail police officials. The A2 coach and B5 coaches were the primary targets of the robbers. The passengers of the train got vulnerable and shocked. They even couldn’t believe what just happened. People lost most of the valuable things they were carrying. Mostly the parents of the kidnapped child got furious. As a response to this unfortunate incident, seven members of the railway protection force got suspended immediately for neglecting passengers’ security.
The secretary of the railway protection force promised that they will take care of every affected passenger. The government has announced a compensation of 50 thousand rupees for every injured passenger. The railway director immediately instructed the Bihar police to investigate the matter of this robbery and asked them to immediately find out the little girl who got kidnapped.
It’s quite a disturbing and disappointing incident for every passenger on the train. The railway protection authority managed some first aid arrangements for the wounded people.
