After the body of a 40-year-old man, who passed away on Golden Temple Mail, was allowed to travel from Meerut to Ludhiana with other passagers, on Wednesday, an inquiry has been marked in the matter.
Those privy to the matter said, that in an act of “gross negligence” the railway staff allowed the body of Ranbir Singh of Moga, to be brought to Ludhiana in the same berth as other passengers.
The victim was part of a three-member group that performs kirtans and sings religious songs (Ragi Jatha) and had been in Mumbai for a month.While returning, the three boarded the Golden Temple Mail from Borivali, Mumbai. However, when the train reached near Hazrat Nizamuddin railway station, Ranbir felt unwell, following which Sanddep Gill, the travelling ticket examiner (TTE), was notified.
