Hi Friends,
Yesterday a very bad incidence took place with me and my wife who is also
blind, in disabled coach of Pune Mumbai intercity express.
I and my wife boarded in the train from Pune, the coach was located near the
engine. After our occupying the seats many nondisabled peoples boarded in the
same compartment. Most of them were ladies. I messaged to the number provided
in this mailing list, the matter of Message is "Please vacate the disabled
coach of 12128 Pune Mumbai intercity exp as nondisabled people are traveling".
On Lonavala station a Police Man vacated the coach but 1 lady was not ready to
shift and the police told me I am helpless as I don't have a lady constable
with me. When train started the lady started abusing me and told I will file a
falls complain against you, that you tried to touch me and intended to through
me out of train. I did not reacted to the same as I did not wanted to escalate
the matter. After some time she captured some photograph of me which I could
not noticed due to my blindness. She was saying hir relative is a police
inspector and I will see you.
She was suppose to get down at Thane station but she did not got down and she
got down at Dadar. While getting down She again abused me and my wife, she
again came back with 1 man and he threatened me that come out I will show you
what are the consequences of complaining. Then he said I will show you the law.
And the train started. Then the remaining passengers told me that she was
looking very angry on you and you should not have done this complain. You
should have tolerance and questioned me, there are still many nondisabled
peoples are present in this bogy why don't you get them down? I answered how I
will come to know who is disabled and who is not? If I clean a part of dirt
then it is not my responsibility to clean all dirt. They only told me that she
has taken your photographs.
The lady who was preaching me not to complain was herself nondisabled.
Please give me your input regarding this matter. Was I wrong to give the
complain? Should I take threat seriously given by that lady and man?
