Mon, Nov 18 2024It's nothing abnormal.... these train robbers open the suitcases and remove the valuables.... this is common type of theft by organized gangs.....am sure the law enforcement agencies will be able to crack the case....

Mon, Nov 18 2024Taking 63 lakhs worth gold in train ?? Instead you buy air ticket for 4000 rupees and reach Mangalore in 2 hours..

Mon, Nov 18 2024That’s really unfortunate! It's a stark reminder of the importance of staying vigilant while traveling, especially with valuables. Hopefully, the authorities will be able to investigate and recover the stolen jewellery. It’s always better to declare items to avoid such situations!

Mon, Nov 18 2024Most of the Cases victim himself Contribute a part of Percentage when fraud,theft took place.Now a days in daily Newspaper most of the online fraud targetted to those who involve in it.Here also this guy carried huge amount of Gold in B level transport to hide or avoid something.otherwise through flight if he would have travelled nothing will going to happen if he shows the legal Bill of the said ornaments.Something KARIYA is there.

Mon, Nov 18 2024Train journey is highly unsafe to travel with precious items... Single passenger with luggage is forced to carry then even while going to toilet... It would have been better if Avinash had travelled by a taxi instead... Highly unlikely that he may recover all or any of the stolen Gold...

Mon, Nov 18 2024Feel pity for the one who lost but, the pace and rationale behind which BJP winning elections, this is something deserved. There are 1000s of middle class travelers with valid tickets have to through the harrowing experience of getting inside the train, pushed through windows of crowded train. Hardly it makes any news in mainline media or even in social media. But, a empty vandhe bharat train, running from one place to other, with posh looking interior, gets more likes. But, now it is like rubbing salt on wound.

Mon, Nov 18 2024If Avinash had traveled by flight with his family instead of by train and declared the gold at the airport (since he had gold worth ₹63 lakhs and could produce the bill legally), his gold would have been safe from theft, and he wouldn’t be facing so many problems now. However, it is difficult to recover the gold at this point.
