One may well be forgiven for thinking that such scenes only lit up the silver screen and anointed eternal favourites like "Sholay"; pardonnez moi for I also discounted the age old dictum about about art imitating life and so on and so forth........
In a daring and Ripleyesque "Believe It Or Not" Act a single gent deigned to storm or rather unceremoniously barge into the engine of a goods train between Madhya Pradesh's Ishwarwara and -Naryaoli railway stations and then decamped from the very same after divesting the driver and assistant driver of the said goods train of their belongings and mobile phones in the wee hours of Tuesday morning.........
According to railway police officials; the driver Dharmendra Patwa and assistant driver Suresh were commandeering the now infamous goods train between Uttar Pradesh's Jhansi and Madhya Pradesh's Katni railway stations when the daredevil bandit broke open a window pane of the engine and surreptitiously entered the same when the train had considerably reduced its speed in the vicinity of the Jaruakheda railway station.........
Brandishing a stout stick and deadly looking pocket knife the masked assailant threatened the two railway employees with deathly consequences if they dared to oppose him; clubbed the assistant driver repeatedly when he tried to put up a fight and made good his escape a few kilometres from the crime scene after relieving the startled and disbelieving duo of all their precious valuables...........
Much chastened and decidedly wiser after their harrowing experience the two drivers made their way to Madhya Pradesh's Sagar railway station where they halted the train and registered a case against the yet to be identified masked assailant at the Railway Police Outpost within the station's precincts.........
A case has been duly registered against this facile lothario under section 394 of the Indian Penal Code and the police have initiated their investigations into the reported incident by making an effort to round up all the petty as well as notorious criminals within a 100 km radius...........
Though the act performed by the dapper and dashing gent was unlawful and reprehensible there is no denying his daredevilry; dexterity; presence of mind and adroitness to make the optimum use of the gilt edged opportunity presented to him by the slowing down of the goods train............
