Theft of personal belongings while traveling A.C. 2 tie

This is to inform you in brief that the undersigned along with my brother Shri Subrata Paul, his wife Smt. Mili Paul and my ailing mother were returning to Kolkata from MUMBAI by 12151 Dn SAMARSATA EXPRESS on 13-01 after medical check up of my mother Smt. Gayatri Paul at the Tata Memorial Cancer Hospital. My mother is a cancer patient and she was administered Chemotherapy treatment there.

We were travelling in a AC II tier – in coach no A1, Berth No. 13, 14, 15 and 11. Before alighting in Howrah station (near Santragachi station) we detected that our suitcase which had all the money and medical documents of my mother along-with PAN card of Shri Subrata Paul, debit cards of both the undersigned and Shri Subrata Paul etc. was stolen. We do not know when the theft took place. The suite case was locked and kept tied with chain and lock. The theft was done in such expert manner that we were completely unaware of it till we examined our luggage. The theft in all probability took place between Bilashpur to Rourkela.

We had informed the railway authority immediately on arrival at Howrah and have submitted written complaint (copy attached). We have indicated a fellow passengers Shri Shakti Shah (PNR No.:8407233728) who boarded the train at Kalyan and was walking with a crutch. He changed his berth no 10 (upper berth) with our berth no 11. Later on we came to know that he had two companions who were travelling in the same compartment. They apparently got down at ‘JHARSUGUDA’.

I may add here that the coach attendant was not of any help. Most of the time we found that the door of the compartment was kept open. We did not find any RPF or GRP personnel in the compartment.

The reason for seeking help from you is mainly to retrieve the valuable medical documents of my mother, ATM –Cum-Debit card (belonging to the undersigned & my brother) and most importantly the hard earned money, amounting to more than Rs 60, 000/- (Rupees Sixty thousand) only which was saved for immediate requirements of my ailing mother.

Copies of the FIR for theft along with written application to the O.C, Shalimar ‘GRPS’ (duly receipted) is enclosed for your ready reference.

The incident took place on 13-14 January, so far we have not received any feedback from the railway authority.

We implore you with folded hands to convey necessary directives to the O.C. Shalimar GRPS for an early and proper investigation with a view to track down the offender and help us salvage our mother’s Medical Documents and the money together with MEDICLAIM policy of Shri Subrata Paul and his wife Smt. Mili paul (Policy No. 030600/48/09/06/00005348 of United India Insurance Co) at an early date. Especially the medical documents of my mother is of utmost importance since she is a cancer patient and has to undergo routine checkups regularly. Loss of these documents may cause serious problem for carrying out her treatment.
