Passenger Detained at Nashik Road for Pulling Alarm Chain on Rajdhani Express
Nashik, 26th October 2024: Central Railway has taken stern action against a person for pulling the alarm chain without a valid reason at Nashik Road station.
The incident occurred on train number 22221, the down Rajdhani Express, at Nashik Road Platform No. 2. The alarm was pulled at 18:44, causing the train to stop for three minutes until 18:47.
Passenger Tapas Manindra Mohri (53) was boarding the train with his wife, Kajal Tapas Mohri (47), and their eight year old daughter. They were assisted by their friend, Sanjeev Ratan Chand Pathariya (48), who was carrying a platform ticket. As the train started moving suddenly, Sanjeev could not disembark in time, which led him to pull the alarm chain to stop the train. The Railway Protection Force (RPF) staff on duty detained Sanjeev, and upon questioning, he admitted to pulling the alarm chain without a valid reason.
A case has been registered against Sanjeev Ratan Chand Pathariya under Section 141 of the Railway Act (Case CR 2800/2024), with further investigation underway.
The Railways appeal to passengers to refrain from pulling the alarm chain during travel without valid reasons. Legal action will be taken under the Railway Act against anyone who pulls the alarm chain without justification.
