A railway spokesman was left red faced on Saturday when he found that his pocket had been picked during a function to flag-off a new train.

Not only the spokesman, but several others, including a journalist, also became the target of the pickpocket during the function where Union Minister of State for Railways Adhir Ranjan Choudhary flagged-off the Habibganj-Indore double-decker train at Habibganj station.

Press Information Bureau’s Additional Director-General and Railway spokesperson Anil Saxena said his wallet containing $80, two pen drives and nearly Rs.1,500 was picked at the station. — PTI
