A woman travelling in Bhagalpur-bound Vikramshila Express was allegedly molested by an attendant of an AC II coach between Allahabad and Mughalsarai stations early on Thursday morning. The accused was arrested after the woman lodged a complaint with Government Railway Police at Mughalsarai.
Mughalsarai GRP SHO Ratan Singh Yadav said the 26-year-old,who is employed in Canada,said she boarded the train at New Delhi railway station for her native place in Patna last evening. She alleged that after the train left Allahabad station around 4 am,she was woken up by the attendant molesting her. She caught him and raised an alarm,but he managed to free himself and ran to another compartment.
The co-passengers woke up on hearing her screams and searched for the attendant but could not find him.
