The accused were booked under Section 66/1B of Railways Act and were produced before a court in Surat on Thursday
A 31-year-old Thane woman, who was travelling with her two kids to her hometown via the Gujarat-bound Sayaji Nagari Superfast Express on Wednesday, raised an alarm as a group of co-passengers were drinking alcohol, smoking and creating a nuisance. Her sister told mid-day that a policeman had warned the same set of passengers at Dadar railway station before they boarded the train, yet the men were boozing as the train was making its way to the dry state.
After the matter was escalated to the chief public relations officer (CPRO), Western Railway (WR), Mumbai, Railway Protection Force (RPF) and Government Railway Police (GRP) personnel immediately swung into action and five men were de-boarded at Bharuch railway station. The woman, requesting anonymity, told mid-day that inebriated men were behaving in a suspicious manner and they had been hopping from the AC 3-tier coach to the adjacent sleeper coach where the rest of their group was entitled to travel.
