The silence of the night in the Howrah-Delhi Express was suddenly broken by a scream – “I’m tickling, yaah!” Such a sudden scream from the upper berth made the eyes of other passengers widen.
Many people felt that an intimate moment was taking place between husband and wife in a moving train! Some even took out their mobile phones and started making videos.
But when the real truth came out, everyone’s eyes went wide! No, it was not a sexual moment, the reason for that scream was a swarm of bedbugs. It is said that the dirty blankets and insects roaming on the dirty berth inside the moving train tickled the woman’s body.
There was a lot of anger among the passengers after this incident. Questions started being raised regarding the maintenance and cleanliness of the railway. How has the cleaning system of the train become so bad that the ‘screams’ of the passengers have now become a cause of fear and not thrill! Although there has been no official response from the Railways, passengers claim that such incidents are not only disturbing but also pose a health risk.
