Railways Crime Helpline Number :1512 for passengers travelling anywhere in India.
The All India Railway Helpline number 1512, which will help train passengers to register their complaints with police while travelling anywhere in the country, was today launched here by Union Minister Haribhai Parthibhai Chaudhary.
The helpline number will prove beneficial for the passengers and it needs to be widely publicised, the Minister of State for Home said.
The helpline presently covers 27 states and all Union Territories.
Lauding the Delhi Police for its initiative in launching the railway helpline number, Chaudhary also commended them for less than one per cent crime rate in the national capital.Delhi Police Commissioner B S Bassi said that the helpline initiative was a brainchild of Delhi Police. It was started first at Delhi Police’s railway control room.
The helpline number 1512 was allotted across the country by the efforts of Delhi Police which took help of Department of Telecom in this regard, he said.
“Several inter-state coordination meetings were held to formalise the All India helpline number whereby control rooms were set up in the states. The helpline is also provided with geo-fencing feature so that a call by a railway passenger on it is received by the concerned control room in a state,” he said.
Passengers can call the helpline number while travelling in train or at railway stations to report about incidents of crime.
Such calls will be received by the concerned control room which will relay it to the nearest railway police station or police teams on board the trains for action on complaints, he said.
The helpline will also enable the railway passengers to lodge complaints without breaking their journeys in case of any crime, he added.
On the occasion of launch of the helpline, the Minister also made a test call to the control room.Detailing various initiatives of Delhi Police for helping people, including Himmat App for women, Bassi said that efforts were being made to work on the “smart” police station concept given by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
“Working on the dream of the PM Narendra Modi we will not just convert one police station in each district into a ‘smart’ police station but make the whole of Delhi Police into a ‘smart’ force,” he said.

Recruitment process

Kolkata Rail Recruitment fraud victims were surprisingly ‘trained’,’paid’
Kolkata Rail Recruitment fraud victims were surprisingly ‘trained’,’paid’
Kolkata (KOAA): The detective department made one more arrest in the fake railway and extortion racket with the arrest of one Jitendra Chowdhury from Rishra. What the cops learnt from him has left them wondering on some insider role in running the gang. Sources said the gang used to operate at different levels and had several persons acting as their field agents across four cities in south Kolkata.
According to police sources, the accused used to charge anywhere between Rs 30,000-40,000 for filling up railway interview forms. Once they were convinced by the gang to come to Kolkata, they were lodged at Naihati and Kanchrapara where they were asked to undergo some “basic General Knowledge and Mathematics training.” They would then be asked to sit for a fake exam and some of them “passed.” The gang members were handed over fake TT badges and even a month’s “salary” (from the money paid to the gang as salaami) after they passed “medical exams” from railway hospitals. They would be “assigned work” at non-descript stations and carsheds with hardly any senior railway officer even having any inkling about the gang’s activities. All this same for a price – they had to shell thousands to get the offer letter. Anyone who refused to pay them were immediately kidnapped and around Rs 4 lakh demanded from family members to free him.
“This arrested Jitendra acted as the man who arranged for the medical tests at the government hospitals,” said joint CP (crime) Pallab Kanti Ghosh. But it was one Vinod, a top college BSc Honours graduate and a fluent speaker of English who trapped the victims in Hyderabad. Cops said his arrest was important to nab the gang leader. “We have identified the gang leader and know he was arrested earlier for committing the same crime,” said Ghosh.
Detective department said that they are in touch with CBI which had busted a similar racket three years ago. “While some of us were asked to attend training in a dingy shed in Calcutta, others told us that they had appeared for an examination at a centre outside Calcutta,” said P. Viswanathan of Salem, one of the victims of 2012. He added that 18 of them were put up at a Calcutta lodge for four months from January 2012 for training though classes were held only for two weeks. CBI sources said more than 200 people from Tamil Nadu had been cheated by the racket, operating since 2009-10. There were around 60 odd candidates from Kerala too.
Two persons identified as Rajendran and Omprakash were rescued from their clutches by the detective department in this regard last week after cops traced the mobile call to a place in Kasba. On Sunday, additional raids were carried out in this regard in south suburban Kolkata. “One Manikant Reddy, residing in Hyderabad, said he received a call on June 23 from his friend who said he was in Kolkata and that he has been kidnapped. Unless Rs 4 lakh was paid to his captors, he would not be released. Reddy came down to Kolkata and lodged a complaint this Wednesday in this regard. He said the call was made from his friend’s own number.
