The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- The Railway Claims Tribunal has asked Central Railway to pay Rs 4.2 lakh, plus 9% interest, to Dravita Singh, who lost three fingers, a toe and part of her right foot in a 2018 'fatka' robbery on a Mumbai local train.
- The Railways argued she was trespassing and travelling without a ticket, but the tribunal ruled her injuries from falling while chasing the robber amounted to an 'untoward incident' under the Railway Act and accepted she was a bonafide passenger.
- The compensation came eight years after the incident, during which Singh underwent multiple surgeries and has since resumed work and studies.
- Meanwhile, the criminal trial in the sessions court against the three accused has not yet begun.
What to watch next
- Progress of the sessions court trial, which has not started eight years after the case was booked
- Whether police update the family on the status of the case, as they reportedly have not been in touch
- Status of the accused, including the juvenile and the two adults, one of whom is out on bail
