Goons demanding money from people travelling in general bogie in train karnataka express. Even after buying a general ticket a person has to pay 30 rs to 50 rs per seat to goons to sit in the seat. if not he will not be allowed to enter the coach till all seats are filled. if anybody opposes he will be beaten by around 8 goons.. All this happens inside the railway station that too in the first platform itself but police are unaware???.. Karnataka express leaves bangalore to delhi everyday at 7:20 PM.. These goons come here 2 to 3 hours before only and wait for early customers.. passengers usually poor people who travel in general bogie come early so that they can get a seat.. but they are not allowed to board the train by these goondas.. they will be allowed only after each person pay 30 rs for seating and 50 Rs if they want top sleeper seat.. I experienced the same last week so i called the railway police from my cell phone immediately but nobody came.. then i called 3 times and told about the problem with high pitch then a polceman came after 1 hour. but by that time goondas had left with their days collection.. the cop deliberately went here and there and was telling on his cell nobody is here, nothing has happened like that. i was standing just in front of him and telling him i am the person who complained but he was not at all seeing towards me.. then when i shouted he spoke to me.. then i told him i want to lodge a complaint, he took me to station and they said inspector has gone out u write ur name ph no. and address and go, we will tell to inspector like tht they told and sent me back.. Later i came to know from passengers that this is happening from years.. One should know only poor people who cannot afford to travel in sleeper coach travels in general bogie.. goondas target mainly trains going to Delhi and Mumbai because people who travel in these are from other states and not locals, who are afraid to fight with these goondas..
Kindly do something to stop this.
