Around 3.30 am, passengers on a train that had stopped in Delhi were stunned by robbers who looted them at knifepoint. The group barged into two AC coaches of the Jammu-Delhi Duranto Express at Badli on the outskirts of the capital, when the train was waiting for the signal to proceed to the main station in Delhi.
The robbers allegedly looted cash, bags, mobile phones and gold chains from the passengers.
The railways were alerted by a passenger's complaint on its portal. "Suddenly some 7 to 10 unidentified miscreants entered coaches B3 and B7 of the train. They were carrying sharp edged knives with them. They put the knife near to the neck of passengers and asked them to handover whatever expensive items they are carrying with them," the person wrote.
The passenger said the horror lasted for 10 to 15 minutes before the robbers jumped off the train. "The irony is that neither staff nor security personnel were available there at the time of the mishap," he claimed in his complaint.
