'Don't talk to strangers', they must have warned you many times, specially before a journey you were making alone. A 19-year-old from Parel would never forget the cautionary cliche, after he was beaten black and blue by co-passengers on a train to Secunderabad, all because he made friends with the wrong person ufffd a con artist. Here is Amol Sonawane's misadventure.
Amol Sonawane is a 19-yr-old working as a surveyor with Pinnacle Marine Services in Fort. His current job is to bring a container from Secunderabad. So there he is, boarding the Konark Express from Dadar, on a bright afternoon on April 30. Since it is vacation time, the train is crowded. “I did not get a reserved seat so I decided to travel in the general compartment,” says Amol.
