Gujarat : Drunkards Run Rampant at Kalupur Station, Passengers in Peril Despite Police Presence

Ahmedabad : A disturbing video has surfaced online, highlighting the escalating issue of harassment by drunk individuals at the Kalupur railway station in Ahmedabad. The footage, tweeted to the Ministry of Railways, captures a drunkard attempting to snatch a passenger’s bag on the first floor of the lift on platform number 6-7. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the growing threat passengers face due to the unchecked presence of intoxicated individuals at the station.

Despite the deployment of both the Railway Protection Force (RPF) and the State Railway Police, concerns regarding the safety of passengers persist. The video acts as undeniable proof of the brazen actions of these individuals, occurring right under the noses of law enforcement personnel. This incident is not an isolated one, as reports of theft, harassment, and even physical altercations involving drunkards at the station are worryingly frequent.

Passengers have expressed their growing frustration and fear due to the perceived negligence of the police system. The lack of swift action against the individual in the video and the continued presence of drunkards at the station have created an atmosphere of apprehension among travelers.
