When I asked what he was doing, he slapped me and pointed a revolver at me. As the train stopped, masked men climbed in from near a level-crossing.”
Railway officials offered the plea that there was “no hard and fast rule” to have Railway Protection Force (RPF) guards on every night train. “It all depends on the vulnerability of the route and the availability of manpower,” an official said.
RPF has no “no hard and fast rule” to have guards on every trains. And MHA brilliantly wants to practically do away with All India Arms Licenses so that people cannot defend themselves and their near and dear ones while traveling. A point for RTI to RPF about:
1)What are RPF rules to have guards on trains
2)How many total violent crimes committed on trains in last 10 years
3)How many violent crimes committed on trains with no guards in last 10 years
4)How many violent crimes committed on trains with guards in last 10 years
5)How many violent crimes prevented by guards on train in last 10 years
