Nashik (Maharashtra) [India], October 27 (ANI): Central Railways has registered a case against a man for allegedly pulling the alarm chain without a valid reason at Nashik road station in Maharashtra on October 26.

A statement from the Central Railways on Saturday evening said the incident of alarm chain pulling (ACP) occurred on train number 22221, down Rajdhani Express, at Nashik road platform no 2. The alarm was pulled at 6:44 pm and the train stopped for three minutes till 6:47 pm.

“Passenger Tapas Manindra Mohri (53) was boarding the train from Nashik to Mathura with his wife Kajal Tapas Mohri (47) and daughter Khushi (8). They were assisted by their friend Sanjeev Ratan Chand Pathariya (48), who was carrying a platform ticket.
