Dear sir 1. I am Colonel Ajay kumar Sinha, an Army officer. I am presently posted as Commanding Officer of 10 Bengal battallion NCC at Kumarpur, GT Road, Asansol, West Bengal. My contact no is- [protected] and [protected]. I had gone to Purnea, Bihar to attend my father-in-laws first death anniversary which was on 17 May. 2. On 18 May 17 I was returning from Katihar junction to Sealdah by Hatte Bazar express. I was travelling in 3 AC, coach no B1, seat no-41.My PNR no was-[protected]. 3. At around 2345h after train left Malda station I put my mobile phone ( i phone 6, 16 GB, silver body with black body cover, IMEI/ MEID no-[protected]) on charge and went to sleep. At around 0400h, I checked for my phone and found it to be missing. After detailed search when I couldn't find my phone, at around 0420h I reported the matter to coach attendent. He asked me to report the matter to RPF sub inspector who was sleeping nearby. I woke him up and reported the matter. He said OK and went off to sleep. After 15 minutes I again woke him up. He didn't even bother to get up and told me that he will inform GRPF in the morning. I introduced myself, showed him my Identity card and requested him to atleast carry out prelimnary investigation but he refused to move. I kept approaching the attendant and RPF sub inspector every 15 minute but both took no action. Finally I asked for the TT. To my surprise he also didn't even bother to get up and asked me to report the matter to RPF person on duty. I told him that he was not taking any action but he expressed his helplessness and asked me to lodge a complaint with GRPF on reaching Sealdah station.I asked him to give me the complaint book. He told me that it was useless and I should approach GRPF. On my insistence he reluctantly gave me the complaint book. I registered the complaint at 0540h in the complaint book. Complaint book serial no is-728023. After giving me a copy of complaint TT went off to sleep again. Thus, inspite of repeated requests no attempt was made by attendant or RPF sub inspector or TT of B1 coach to search for the phone. 4. On getting down at Sealdah station, I lodged a complaint with GRPS. G.D.E no is 1499. 5. Had any of the railway personel of B1 coach made any attempt to look for the phone, I am sure it could have been traced because there was no major station or stoppage till Bandel which the train reached at 0615h.Secondly, phone was switched on and was active between 0617h and 0627h. That means some body got down at Bandel with the phone. On tracker also last location of phone is shown between bandel and Burdwan. 6. Such inaction by railway personal on duty speaks very poor about the organisation and its security measures. It also strengthens the suspicion about their role and involvement in these organised theftsof passengers belongings. 7. In view of the above you are requested to take appropriate action against the errant officials and direct the concerned personel to help trace the phone. Thanking you Yours faithfully Col AK Sinha
