According to Railway spokesperson Anil Saxena, three RPF personnel who were escorting the train have also been suspended in connection with the issue.
Gold chain, ring and some cash were looted from the couple at dagger point in the AC compartment of the running train. The couple had boarded the train at Damoh for Delhi.
Narrating her harrowing experience, Sudha Malaiya told PTI outside Parliament, "We were travelling by Jabalpur- Nizamuddin Express train to Delhi and we boarded the train at Damoh. There was a knock at the door of our coupe at about 4 AM and when I opened the door a person carrying dagger entered forcefully followed by four others."
She said the accused also robbed passengers in the adjoining coupe.
Asked about the response of the RPF, she said "because of RPF other passengers were saved. Train was stopped due to chain pulling and when the RPF men came the robbers left."
