Passengers of Delhi-bound Prayagraj Express looted

Ghaziabad, May 23: Around 12 passengers of Prayagraj Express, going to Delhi from Allahabad, were allegedly looted of cash and jewellery at gunpoint by miscreants early this morning, GRP officials said.

The miscreants boarded the train at Aligarh under the guise of passengers and carried out the loot before Khurja station arrived, they said. When the train arrived at Ghaziabad station, the passengers raised a hue and cry and claimed that seven miscreants had carried out the loot.

A case has been registered in this regard and investigation is on, GRP Inspector Pankaj Lawania said, adding, since it comes under the purview of Aligarh GRP the case has been transferred to them.
