UP: 82-year-old stopped from boarding train despite confirmed ticket

In a shocking incident, an 82-year-old man who was draped in ‘unstitched cloth’ and ‘Dhoti’ was denied entry into the Delhi bound Kanpur-New Delhi Shatabdi Express on Thursday morning despite having a confirmed ticket.

The passenger identified as Ram Awadh Das accused the Government Railway Police (GRP) of not allowing them to board the train as he was dressed differently. Although in the written complaint to North Central Railways he didn’t mention that he was denied entry because of his dress.

Ram, a seer who hails from Barabanki and was going from Etawah to Ghaziabad said “I am shocked. It seems as if we are still living in the British era. Though I had the ticket, still the GRP personnel and the coach attendant denied me entry into the train as I was dressed differently. I am aghast and pained at their behavior.”

He also said that he kept insisting that he had a confirmed ticket but to no avail. He added “They said ‘Baba tum galat train mein chadh gaye ho (you have stepped into a wrong train). Your train is in Kanpur and will reach Etawah in the next couple of hours’.”

As per reports, the incident was reported at Etawah station from where he was supposed to board. He had a reservation from Etawah to Ghaziabad where he was going to his follower.

“Baba visits our residence in Etawah every rainy season to carry out a religious ceremony and then he was supposed to board Shatabdi to leave for Ghaziabad,” said Sujata Dubey, a staunch follower of Ram Awadh Das. She said Das originally belonged to Barabanki district.

The Chief public relation officer said that as per the inquiry the elderly passenger had wrongly boarded the power car and was told to board another coach. Since the train had just two-minute stoppage at Etawah station and it was gone by the time he managed to reach the coach.
