NEW DELHI: A non-cognizable report (NCR) has been registered by the Government Railway Police (GRP) in Jhansi after BJP MLA Rajeev Singh from Babina filed a complaint concerning an onboard dispute on the New Delhi-Bhopal Vande Bharat Express, information company PTI reported. According to the GRP, the incident occurred on Thursday night in the course of the train’s journey and concerned a disagreement between passengers over altering seats and what was described as an objectionable sitting posture. The scenario reportedly escalated at Jhansi station, the place a passenger was allegedly assaulted by people believed to be linked to the MLA. Railway Superintendent of Police (Jhansi) Vipul Kumar Srivastava advised reporters that the assaulted passenger had initially indicated he would lodge a complaint after reaching Bhopal. “Once a complaint is received, appropriate action will be taken based on CCTV footage,” Srivastava mentioned. As of Friday afternoon, Bhopal railway police confirmed that no such complaint had been acquired. In his written complaint, Singh acknowledged that he was travelling with his spouse and son when a co-passenger behaved in an indecent method. Upon elevating an objection, the person allegedly misbehaved with the household and later summoned others at Jhansi station who additionally behaved abusively.
