Deccan Chronicle: Vijayawada:
Wednesday, March 27, 2013.
On a
surprising note when a passenger lost his luggage while travelling by a train
from Eluru to Vijayawada on September 5, 2011, the Government railway police at
Eluru registered FIR on March 23, 2013, when he filed a petition under Right to
Information Act to know the status of his case.
The passenger
P.S.V. Ramesh, a software professional in a complaint addressed to Railway
police, Vijayawada, stated that he lost his bag containing laptop and gold
ornaments total worth nearly Rs 4 lakh while travelling in
Rajamundry-Vijayawada passenger train on September 5, 2011. Later the case was
transferred to Eluru railway police.
In his RTI
petition filed on March 9, 2013, he stated that the GRP failed to respond to
register his complaint. He appealed for the status of complaint lodged in Eluru
on September 10, 2011 and the reasons for non-filing of FIR.
However when
the passenger filed a petition under RTI Act, the railway police filed FIR at
Eluru police station on March 23, 2013 stating that the passenger lost property
worth Rs 1,10,000.
Superintendent
of police (Railways) Ch Syam Prasada Rao said an inquiry would be conducted
into the incident and action would be taken on the erring officials.
