On Tuesday, a local Court in Uttar Pradesh's Moradabad awarded 1-year imprisonment to a man for carrying a gas cylinder on a train in 2006. "The act of the accused could have endangered the lives of many co-passengers," the Court said while pronouncing the judgment.
The accused, Sheru Singh, was caught carrying the cylinder by railway police force (RPF) at Gajraula railway station in Amroha. Judge Vinay Jaiswal of the railway magistrate court passed the order.
Advocate Shiv Hari Agnihotri, a government counsel who represented the RPF, said, “Under no circumstance can a gas cylinder be allowed inside a public compartment. It is hazardous & the accused's act jeopardised the safety of his co-passengers. Back then, he was booked under section 164 of the Railways Act & sent to jail. He soon managed to secure bail.”
Agnihotri added that “Now, Sheru Singh has been awarded one-year imprisonment, along with Rs 1,000 fine, for the offense. This judgment will serve as a benchmark for offenders who attempt to carry inflammable articles in train & risk the lives of others".
Singh is reportedly living in Delhi & was not present in court. He will be notified about the judgment "soon", Agnihotri said.
