Luggage Stolen in Train: Every day lakhs of people travel by rail in our country. In such a situation, it is no less of a challenge for the passengers to protect their belongings. Often you must have seen or heard incidents of luggage or luggage being stolen during the journey. But, what if such an incident happens to you? What would you do in this situation? In this article, we have told about this, what the passengers should do first in case of theft of goods from the train.
Compensation for theft of goods
If a passenger’s luggage is stolen while traveling by train, then he should first lodge a complaint. If your goods are not received even after complaining, then compensation is given for the stolen or lost goods by the Indian Railways. However, for this you have to do some important work.
Do this on theft of goods
According to the railway website, if a passenger’s luggage is stolen from a train on the way, the first thing you should do is contact the train conductor, coach attendant, guard or GRP escort. The FIR form will be made available to you on behalf of these people. This form will be filled and sent to the police station for necessary action. If you have to complete your journey, you can also give this complaint letter at RPF help posts at any railway stations.
Get full compensation for booked goods
If you have booked your luggage in railway luggage and paid the fees, then railways will be responsible for loss or damage to the luggage. In such a situation, as compensation, you will be given the full cost of the goods by the Railways. But, if you have not booked the goods, then only Rs 100 per kg will be paid.
