Passengers said there was no police guard in the carriage even though the Rajendra Nagar locality is notorious for robberies.“RPF men were scheduled to board the train from Patna junction,” said East Central Railway PRO A K Chandra. Railway SP G P Sinha said the robbers were held from a hideout in the Karbigahia area of Patna. “They were enjoying lunch when we raided the place,” he said. “Valuables looted were also recovered.”
The DIG’s family was shattered after the incident. Singh had retired some two years back. Since then he had been practising as an advocate at Patna High Court.
