Robbers struck Delhi-bound Prayagraj Express looting at gunpoint cash and jewellery from 12 passengers, GRP officials said.
The robbers boarded the train coming from Allahabad at Aligarh station and carried out the loot in between Aligarh and Khurja yesterday, they said.
When the train reached Ghaziabad, the passengers raised a hue and cry and filed a complaint with Government Railway Police (GRP), saying that seven armed robbers had looted them of cash and jewellery.
A case has been registered in this regard and a prone is on, GRP Inspector Pankaj Lawania said, adding since it comes under the purview of Aligarh GRP, the case has been transferred to them.
