Vinoth was recruited as a Grade-II police constable under sports quota in 2008. He was deputed to the Railway Police in Trichy.<\/p>\n<p>He was deputed to perform patrol duty on the Tuticorin &#8211; Chennai Pearl City Express train on December 29, 2014 along with a woman constable, Amsavalli.

The additional government pleader submitted that the woman constable, Amsavalli, had stated that the petitioner had talked to the complainant in an indecent manner in an inebriated mood.<\/p>\n<p>Justice S M Subramaniam observed, \u201cThe state must provide adequate protection and ensure that the woman passengers, who are travelling lonely during odd hours, are to be protected by issuing certain guidelines to the police officials, who all are on duty in trains.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo leniency or misplaced sympathy can be shown in respect of such offences in a running train against woman passengers. In a running train, these women passengers are helpless. The police officials on duty are carrying arms and even the co-passengers cannot come to the rescue of such women,\u201d observed the judge.<br \/>\nHence, the judge suo motu impleaded the general manager of Southern Railway and directed to conduct a survey with the assistance of the experts and install CCTV cameras in railway coaches and compartments for the purpose of providing adequate safety and security to woman passengers, old age passengers and children.<\/p>\n<p>The judge directed the Southern Railway to formulate the improvised guidelines to meet out the current day circumstances, to be followed by the security officials in running trains.
