MUMBAI: Top government railway police (GRP) officers have warned the constabulary against skipping night escort duty, in the wake of a nurse being molested on a local on Saturday.Currently, about 390 GRP constables have been deployed to secure the 24-hour ladies compartments on Western and Central railways. On Saturday, constable Devendra Shinde was to man the compartment in which the nurse was molested. But Shinde could not turn up for duty as he overslept at Churchgate station.The GRP constabulary has been instructed that in case anyone of them is unable to make it for escorting duty, he should be replaced by a colleague and no ladies coach should be left unsecured. Meanwhile, the railway crime branch has sought the custody of Devraj Kanka, arrested for molesting the nurse.
