Gurugram: denied entry in train, passengers sit on railway track

Passengers bound for Khatu Shyam temple in Rajasthan sat on the railway track in Gurugram after they were faced with an overcrowded train and were shut out by the passengers sitting inside, police said on Monday.

Angry passengers caused the train to stop for about 30 minutes and agreed to clear the track only after they had a word with the railway station administration and railway police.

According to police, the incident happened around 8.10 pm Sunday night, when the Chetak Express – Delhi Sarai Rohilla to Udaipur City — arrived at platform 1 of Gurugram Railway Station in an overcrowded state.

The situation was not helped by the passengers sitting inside, who refused to open the doors of the train for the newcomers to get on board.
