Nagpur: Some gang breakers and active robbers along the outer railway line in Nagpur.
They jump to the train items that move to steal cargo, or crash into cellphone users stand on the door or lean on the window so they drop their gadgets when the train issues or exits the city limits through slums and crossings.
Illegal and eunuch vendors also use this stretch to enter the train, and most are ignored by the escort of train security personnel.
The slums and illegal hutments that penetrated the railway land along the track had become a breeding place for criminals targeting train passengers.
The cart breaker targets vegetable shipments, especially onions, other than materials such as coal, which they throw to the tracks of the moving train.
The stretch of Nagpur Outer Near Motibagh Underpass and Dobi Locality quickly gained fame for criminal activities that target passengers and carts to Raipur and Howrah.
On Monday, Force Protection Railway (RPF) confiscated 17 pieces of onions, cumulatively weighing around 750-800kg, from the tracks that had been dropped by Wagon Breakers from the train between the Dargah Baba Pahelwan at the Motibagh and Itwari train station.
Although three people have been identified, the RPF has not made an arrest.
Senior Division Security Commissioner, Central Railway, Ashutosh Pandey said there was a tip about several criminals who dropped onions from the carriage, so a drive was carried out to seize it.
“We intend to target illegal activities along the track outside.
The action is beginning and will continue,” he said.
The source said one shahrukh and his gang was the most active syndicate in the Outer Nagpur, targeting the train and long distance passengers.
“The gang has a member who is an expert in climbing to the running train.
The cartrise breaker also enters the cart and throws the coal and coal from the coach on the track, which is then sold on the market,” said a source of Motibagh.
It learned a gang of cellular thieves waiting along the track with a stick that had a hook in the end.
Gang members target passengers who lean on the door or window to talk on the cellphone.
“Gang members surprised the passengers by hitting their hands, so the cellphone slipped and fell along the track.
The cellphone was taken by a gang member who fled to the slum and escaped,” said the source.
It learned gang members also entered the coach to take a cellphone that was left unattended when charging or in a chair and escaped with them by jumping out of the moving train.
