KOLKATA: A man was allegedly thrown out of a speeding train by a constable for boarding the ladies compartment and is now recuperating in hospital.
Meanwhile, the Government Railway Police have begun an inquiry against the constable for allegedly throwing the passenger out of the Katwa-Howrah local train last night.
"The Superintendent of Railway Police (Howrah) has been asked to personally conduct an inquiry into the incident. The constable has been closed in the police lines. Action will be taken against him if he is found guilty," DGP (Railways) Dilip Mitra said.
Bishnu Basak, the injured passenger, said that after boarding the train at Samudragarh station, he was accosted by the constable who asked him why he had boarded the ladies compartment.
"I apologised to him saying I did not realise it was a ladies compartment as the train was leaving when I reached the platform and I was in a hurry. He then asked for my ticket. When I showed it to him, he snatched it and kicked me out of the moving train," Basak said.
Locals rushed him to a nearby hospital from where he was moved to the SSKM Hospital here late in the night. He was then shifted to the Sambhunath Pandit Hospital where he is now admitted.
Mitra visited Basak at the hospital during the day to inquire about the incident.
