Bihar woman travelling without ticket in AC first class caught with 75 litres of liquor, police says father, sister also caught earlier in similar offenses

A 25-year-old woman, Neha Jha, was arrested along with her relative Ishan Kumar at Samastipur Junction after Railway Protection Force (RPF) and Government Railway Police (GRP) personnel allegedly recovered around 75 litres of foreign liquor, worth about Rs 1.5 lakh, from a locked First AC compartment on a train travelling from New Delhi to Bihar. Police said the liquor was allegedly being transported from Haryana, while Jha claimed during initial questioning that it was meant for a wedding at her home in December, as TOI report.

The video attracted attention because of Jha’s apparent composure during the interaction. She spoke to officials in fluent English and remained calm while the compartment was searched. The incident, however, has resulted in a police case over the alleged illegal transportation of liquor.
