Mangaluru, Feb 27: As many as nine passengers have been booked for creating trouble on board Chennai Central Mangaluru Express recently. Among them seven have been remanded to judicial custody while two others have been released on bail.

On February 21, the on-duty train ticket examiners (TTEs) of train No.12685 Chennai Central - Mangaluru Express, D Rajasekaran, Rajeswar Meena, Carl Max and Pradeep Kumar received complaints that a few passengers of S-11 coach, were creating nuisance to other passengers. They were in an inebriated state. They rushed to the coach and tried to reason with the trouble makers.

However, as they were in no mood to listen and tried to attack the other passengers and TTEs, the TTEs alerted the RPF/GRP staff in Triuppur station and the trouble makers were asked to alight.

A written complaint was lodged with the GRP in Tiruppur. Based on that, an FIR was filed against the offenders, Prem, Gopinath, Prithviraj, and six others, under Cr. No.28/2016 75 (i)b TNCP Act & 506(i) IPC R/W 145 (b) IR Act.

The accused were produced before the Judicial Magistrate-V, Coimbatore, who ordered for the release of two offenders - Balasubramaniyam, 46 and Prabakaran, 39 on bail and remanded the remaining seven persons to judicial custody at Central Prison, Coimbatore, for a period of 15 days.

The railways requested passengers not to cause nuisance and disturbance to co-passengers, failing which the on board staff will take action against them. Passengers can call the security helpline No. 182 for immediate assistance in cases of nuisance by co-passengers, theft or any other security breach cases.

They can also call the officer on special duty (OSD) or chief commercial manager (CCM), Southern Railway, on 90031 60969.
