Upper-crust, pantry boys
A senior railway official, requesting anonymity, said he had heard about such a thing going on especially on upper-crust trains like Rajdhani and Shatabdi. "There has not been an inquiry because no formal complaint has ever been lodged," he said.
Chief Public Relations Officer, Northern Railways, Rajeev Saxena refused to comment, saying "he would like to talk about it later."
A MiD DAY reporter first encountered the trend in November last year on a Delhi-bound Shatabdi Express from Bhopal. A woman in her mid-thirties, travelling without luggage, came and sat beside a middle-aged executive at Agra station. Throwing a shawl around themselves, they quickly got sexual, as a guy who looked like an agent stood guard a distance away.
"We see this woman with the pimp quite often. He accompanies her every time and during the journey different men sit with her," one of the pantry boys had said. "We have seen more explicit stuff. Passengers sometimes got into the toilet with these women, who are regulars. The good part is we get a lot of tips." In 2007, a TV sting had exposed the case of call girls being served to politicians on Rajdhani and Sampoorn Kranti Express on the Patna-Delhi route. Railway Minister Lalu Prasad had been quoted saying that it was difficult to prevent such rackets as "you cannot ask every passenger who they are and what are their relations are with the person they are travelling with." The service seems to have been extended to include young, busy executives.
Could you please explain to me the emboldened parts?
