News..lol..
On Monday, Ratlam resident Shabbir Rotiwala was arrested for stealing blankets and bedsheets on Bandra-Amritsar Paschim Exp.
The announcement – railways aap ki sampatti hain – is taken literally by a few. According to the numbers released by the Western Railway, in the last fiscal alone 1.95 lakh towels were stolen from its long-distance trains, besides 81,736 bedsheets, 55,573 pillow covers, 5,038 pillows, and 7,043 blankets.

to this around 200 toilet mugs, close to 1,000 taps, and more than 300 flush pipes stolen every year, and you have the great train robbery playing out due to a few passengers’ petty behaviour.
According to Sunil Udasi, CPRO Central Railway, between April to September 2018 , 79,350 hand towel, 27,545 bedsheets, 21,050, pillow covers, 2,150 pillows and 2,065 blanket were stolen, which were worth Rs. 62 lakh approximately.
On Monday, a Ratlam resident who boarded a long-distance train from Bandra Terminus, ended up becoming the face of such pettiness when he was arrested for stealing three blankets, six bedsheets, and three pillows.
Ratlam resident Shabbir Rotiwala was travelling in an AC coach (B-5) and was spotted by the attendants hastily stuffing the bed linens in his bag before alighting at Ratlam Station, where he was arrested.
