A 22-year-old man travelling without a ticket was found to be transporting ₹2 crore in cash, on the Mumbai CSMT-Mangaluru Superfast Express (Train No 12133). He was detained by railway vigilance personnel at Karwar on June 9.
Konkan Railway Corporation’s Chief Vigilance Inspector (CVI) H K Prasanna Kumar randomly boarded the train at Madgaon to check on travelling ticket examiners (TTEs). One of the TTEs told the CVI that one of the passengers did not possess a ticket. He was carrying a bag and his behaviour gave rise to suspicion. When Mr Kumar asked the passenger to open the bag, he refused to do so.
With the help of Railway Protection Force (RPF) personnel, the CVI and TTE took the passenger to the RPF station at Karwar.
