Two Robbers Attack Train Passengers

Travelers going from Amritsar to Bihar on the Jan Seva Express got robbed by two unknown individuals in broad daytime near Sadhugarh in Rajpura today.

The unidentified individuals started firing at the travelers, hurting three of them, comprising a 10-year-old kid, and ran away with money and other costly items from Rajpura railroad station.

They were admitted to Civil Hospital, Rajpura.

The little girl was shifted to the Sector 32 hospital in Chandigarh whilst Subhash Saini was sent to Government Rajindra Hospital, Patiala.

Subhash, who was getting treatment at Rajindra Hospital, stated that he, together with his 6 companions, got on the train from Phagwara. When the train crossed Ludhiana, 2 unknown individuals unexpectedly took out guns and began abducting money and other costly items from the riders.

“Whilst some passengers gave away cash, cellular telephones and other costly items to defend themselves, we denied parting with any cash. Upon repeated denial, they opened fire. They fired some more shots and bullets hit me and a kid. They later fled upon arrival at the Rajpura railway station,” he said.

Probing officer (Railways) Satwant Singh stated that they had lodged a case and a hunt was going on to nab the charged.

“All the injured are stable and we have rushed our teams to nab the robbers who got off the train before it reached Rajpura railway station,” he added.
