Two travel bags of the same colour belonging to two passengers created a flutter for some time at Visakhapatnam railway station on April 5.
According to railway officials, the Railway Protection Force (RPF) received an online complaint pertaining to the exchange of a bag in train number 17243 on Wednesday.
E. Hemalatha, who travelled in B1 coach of the train from Tuni to Parvathipuram town, complained that her co-passenger de-boarded with her bag at Elamanchali. She lodged the complaint and de-boarded the train in Visakhapatnam.
The RPF staff obtained the details of co-passenger, who was identified as O. Srinivas.

Tripathi, Senior Divisional Commercial Manager, Waltair Railway Division, said in a release on April 6 (Thursday).
