    Even after so many such incidents being published regularly, many people r still acting like fools!

    In the first place y she had to take the risk of buying gold in Mumbai, as if there is dearth of same here, n then carry it when travelling, that too alone?

    Difficult to believe that somebody, in 21st century, still following blind faith rituals of offering gold to some deity n then wearing it?

    There r well organized gangs operating in trains working in collusion with law enforcers n looting soft targets!

    She would be very lucky if she gets back her valuables!!

    Its just and just no fear of law. If theives murderers rapists punish as per islamic shariah the crimeless society is guarrenteed . Imagine how can a gold shop can keep open without any attendant inside while on prayer time in saudi arabia. Thats surity of prevailace of strict law where bail may be day dream for anti socials

    Railway police need to focus more on their job with added loyalty! I guess some of the thieves are known to police, otherwise why so may robberies on train??

    Heights of superstitious beliefs. Offering prayers to the jewelry? are we still so backward are we so illiterate are we so dumb? You are from a financial capital of India, I really didn't expect you to believe in such superstitious beliefs. God save you.

    In this case, was it wise to travel unaccompanied with so much gold in a train which is notorious for robberies??
    She would be very lucky if she gets back her valuables by praying to the concerned deity!!

    If offering something to god is superstition, what about praying to god?

    A press conference will be called to prove the innocence of the culprit once he is caught, and will be given bail to freely roam around and try to strike again to an innocent traveler. Our law and order is so fluid and flexible.
    Jai Hind.

    In Indian democratic system these thieves despite of getting caught will be enjoying jail food for some time and come out and rob the innocents again. It is better to chop their hands such that they will repeat again. The fear of getting chopped also prevents them from robbing!
