The rights panel has asked the Railways to submit a compliance report along with the proof of payment within four weeks failing which the Railway Board Chief could be asked for a personal appearance.
On May 11, 2009, Benudhar Bhoi, the victim, was allegedly thrown out of Santragachhi-Puri Passenger by a TTE RP Samartha between Jajpur Road and Jakhapura stations for travelling without ticket. Benudhar had to amputate a leg after the mishap.
Human rights activist Prabir Kumar Das had moved the NHRC seeking action against the TTE on the grounds that Railways Act provides for imprisonment upto six months or fine upto `1,000 for travelling without ticket and pushing a ticketless passenger out of a running train amounted to gross violation of human rights.
