Indore: A case was registered against few Congress workers for putting up posters purportedly reading "chowkidar chor hai" on a train in Madhya Pradesh's Indore. Senior PRO of Western Railways Jitendra Kumar Jayant told ANI that posters were found pasted on Shanti Express which was parked in the yard.


"Some objectionable posters were pasted on Shanti Express which plies from Ahmedabad to Indore. The train was parked in the yard. When we got to know about the incident, we immediately removed all the posters. We have registered a case under Railways Act against accused involved in it," he said.
