This is a story of Young Abhishek Chaturvedi and his sister who were on their train journey from Mumbai to Bhopal. When both of them boarded the train, they saw that there were around 20 passengers with waiting tickets who had acquired all the seats around the coach. However, since no one bothered to open their mouths and question them, they seemed quite confident. However, this behavior of theirs made Abhishek and his sister quite uncomfortable.
Just after an hour, as Abhishek went to the washroom, one amongst those men leaned on his sister and tried misbehaving with her. She reacted and that man ignored her and shifted to a different coach. But they felt helpless as to what could be done in such a situation. If they would have fought, it could have made the matter worse.
They tried making some calls and waited for mobiles to have a good range. As soon as they got the network, Abhishek asked his friends to tweet this problem to Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu.
Within 30 minutes, the train stopped at Itarsi and few cops came rushing to the coach for checking out the problem. They asked them to tell about their problem fearlessly. All passengers acted as if nothing had happened and stayed quite. Soon the person who was guilty was arrested and even others were asked to vacate their seats. The cops took Abhishek’s details and ensured safety till their journey was over.
Abhishek shared full story on his Facebook wall, you can read it below:-

When everyone thought they are helpless, the Railway Ministry came forward and offered the much needed support. Abhishek truly appreciates this alertness of the Government and is proud to be a citizen of this country.
