My copassenger also identified that person because he was also waking up. He visited all the way till S9 and checked each and every toilet but did not found him. Surprisingly General coaches were also connected with sleeper so he checked in GS too but that person could not be found any where. It was 5:30 AM, and we all loose all hopes of mobile as well as that person but we were 100% sure that he is a thief. Suddenly at 6 AM, that guy was spotted in passage, we immediately called him, firstly he tried to ignore but when we shouted in aggression, he came to near us and tried to show aggression. I immediately asked for his seat number, he told he has no seat, I asked for ticket then he claimed staff. I asked for pass he told that I am not authorized for asking. I...
more... and other passengers immediately told that you will no more go anywhere. You will be handed to RPF at Kota due to unauthorized traveling and if you try to oppose then you will come in media also. He told that he is a housekeeping staff. I again asked for ID proof then he provided us.
After that few question answers between me and him.
Q1- Why you did not slept in night?
A- I did not have any seat, train is jam packed.
Q2- There are many empty seats and House keeping staff also have place?
A- My friends were there.
Q3- Were you sitting here till 4 AM and then moved?

Q4- Which coach?
A- PC
Q5- Why did you locked PC?
A- I did not locked.
Q6- We need to full search your luggage, and you where is your bag?
A- Bag is in PC.
We immediately moved to PC and checked his bag as well as full body search of him. We found 2 mobiles with him and 2 more in bag but all were without sim. He told that he purchased all of these second hand and he will gift those to family members. I confirmed from pantry staff that gate was not locked by anyone of those. However correct mobile could not be located. But at same time a pantry staff person claimed that he seen that person with stolen mobile, that mobile was not in bag or with him but that 3rd party person was 100% sure that he seen one more mobile with him.
We immediately snatched ID proof and told him that we will not leave you without RPF enquiry. He told many times that PC staff guy is confused or in sleep. I have never stolen anything, but we want revenge at any cost so we were ready to file FIR at Kota.
Time was 6:15AM and Kota was still 30 minutes to go. To be continue
