Satyajit Barman, a railway passenger travelling on the Getanjali Express was allegedly assaulted
00:12
and held captive by IRCTC canteen staff on 6 April 2025.
00:30
The incident occurred near Badnera in Maharashtra's Amravati district during the train's journey from Havra to Kalyan.
00:36
Barman, who was returning to Mumbai from Kolkata, said he heard three fellow passengers arguing with pantry staff.
00:42
They were reportedly complaining about being served less food than the standard IRCTC quantity and being charged extra for it.

FYI, e-catering meals have fixed portions.
00:50
For instance, 150 gram rice, 100 grams bread and 150 grams dal in a veg meal.

However, when Barman intervened and objected, the staff told him to weigh the food on the pantry car scale.

He then went to the pantry car with the three passengers to get the food packets weighed.
01:11
There, the staff allegedly accused him of provoking others, snatched his phone, physically assaulted him and forced him to remain seated.
01:20
He also claimed that other passengers were intimidated and sent back to their seats,
01:25
with some of them being physically manhandled.
01:27
One of the passengers reportedly contacted the railway police force helpline.
01:31
Officials reached the pantry car, rescued Barman and escorted him to his seat.
01:35
He registered a police complaint on 7 April 2025 at the Kalyan railway station.
01:39
Following his complaint, a case was registered against seven people
01:42
and the matter was transferred to Maharashtra's Badnera railway police station
