There is no question of entrusting such a baggage\/luggage to the Railways and getting receipt thereof,&#8221; the commission said.<\/p>\n<p>The commission also did not accept the contention of the Railways that it was not responsible as the incident was a result of failure of law and order, which is a State subject.<\/p>\n<p>According to the complaint filed by Chaudhary, she booked a 2-Tier AC ticket to travel on October 9, 2010 from New Delhi to Habibganj in Bhopal in the Bhopal Express.<\/p>\n<p>It said as soon as the train departed, she began settling down, a bag kept on the upper berth went missing. The stolen bag had a laptop and several valuable articles worth of Rs 45,000, it added.<\/p>\n<p>The complainant could not find any official to file a complaint as the train had already departed, it said, adding that she then made a call to PCR but they expressed their inability to help her as the train had left the Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway Station.<\/p>\n<p>The TTE arrived later to check the tickets and he also expressed difficulty in assisting her in any manner.<\/p>\n<p>A complaint was filed at the Habibganj Railway Station the next day itself from where the FIR was sent to the Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway Station after two months.
