THE MAHARASHTRA Government Railway Police (GRP) has written to the general managers of Central and Western Railways to upgrade security on vulnerable railway premises that could be misused for crimes.
The letter comes in the wake of the rape case at Ulhasnagar railway station, where a history-sheeter forcibly took a 14-year-old girl to an unused room at railway quarters and raped her. While the city police had refused to register an FIR, the GRP subsequently registered the case and arrested the accused.
A source said that soon after the incident, in a review by ADG (GRP) Dr Pradnya Sarvade, it was realized that there were several such dilapidated, unused structures and sheds along the railway premises.
