Indian Railways action in Agra Cantt case: Indian Railways has suspended RPF (Railway Protection Force) personnel seen in a viral video allegedly assaulting a Deputy Station Superintendent (Dy SS) at Agra Cantt station. The incident took place after train number 20808 Amritsar-Visakhapatnam Hirakund Express, which arrived at Agra Cantt station at 10:51 hrs as per its scheduled stoppage, started departing from the station and stopped again shortly thereafter.

Following the stoppage, a dispute reportedly took place between the RPF personnel and the Operations Department. Some videos of the incident went viral on social media, allegedly showing RPF staff engaging in unruly behaviour with the Dy SS.

Speaking to Indianexpress.com, Dr Shivam Sharma, Chief Public Relations Officer (CPRO) of North Central Railway (NCR) said: “There was some confusion between RPF and Dy SS regarding the cause of halting of train.” Sharma said an enquiry is under way.

When asked whether the dispute was triggered by the deboarding of some women at the station, the official replied, “No, that cannot be said at this time.”

#RPF का यह आचरण कतई उचित नहीं!

जैसा कि वीडियो में RPF वाले कह रहे हैं कि #DySS ने गाली दी-तो भी उचित प्रक्रिया अपनाना चाहिए था! इस तरह सार्वजनिक रूप से ऑन ड्यूटी स्टाफ को पीटना और हाथ-पैर पकड़कर घसीटना रेल की बदनामी है-दोषियों पर कड़ी कार्रवाई की जानी चाहिए!@RailMinIndia @IR_CRB pic.twitter.com/dbFDongjug

The committee comprises the Assistant Operations Manager (AOM), Agra; Assistant Security Commissioner (ASC), RPF, Agra; and Assistant Divisional Electrical Engineer (ADEE), Agra.

“The inquiry committee has been directed to complete the probe at the earliest. However, to ensure a fair and transparent investigation, the RPF personnel seen in the video have been suspended with immediate effect. Further action will be initiated as per the provisions of the Railways Act after receiving the inquiry report,” he said in a video statement.
