Three months after a lost 17-year-old autistic boy was forced by the Railway Police Force (RPF) to board the Sindhudurg-bound Tutari Express at Panvel station, officers responsible for this are only paying with a salary cut. Only the annual and half-yearly increment was deducted from the salary of three personnel responsible as punishment. The boy still hasn't been found.
After initial inquiry, it was decided to deduct the annual increment of Constable Monu Tomar, who forced the boy, Tarun Gupta, to board the train. The constable's salary is around R30,000, around R3,000-R4,000 will be deducted from his account. Action was also taken against another constable (he has approximately the same salary) attached to RPF Panvel, Kalu Meena, by deducting a six months increment amount from his salary.
