Lucknow: A chief ticket
inspector (CTI) of the Indian Railways has been shot dead on board
the Mahananda Express, between Ghaziabad and New Delhi, police
said Saturday.
The incident took place late Friday when unidentified assailants
shot Kifayatullah in the stomach when he sought to see their
tickets.
Hailing from Moradabad, the railway official was on duty on the
Mahananda Express which runs between West Bengal and New Delhi. He
was taken to the Guru Teg Bahadur hospital in New Delhi, where he
died at around 10.30 p.m. due to excessive blood loss.
Railway officials told IANS that the incident took place near the
Sahibabad station when the official was checking tickets.
A group of young men had a verbal spat with him and it turned ugly
soon after. One of them whipped out a pistol and shot the railway
official in his stomach. They then escaped.
Shocked passengers pulled the emergency chain and informed the
Government Railway Police (GRP) personnel on train.
When the train chugged into the Shahdra station, railway officials
wheeled out the bleeding CTI and took him to hospital.
During treatment, the injured official said he had an altercation
with some youngsters as they were not travelling with tickets. He
could not speak further, an official said.
"A hunt is on for the assailants," Pankaj Lawaniya, GRP in-charge
of Ghaziabad told IANS, adding that the passengers were being
questioned.
Train travel has increasingly become scary in Uttar Pradesh, with
more than half-a-dozen cases of eve teasing and violence reported
in the last six months from trains plying across the state.
