An Indian affair

India -- A group of over 20 miscreants reportedly looted and injured a team of eight judo players and their coach on board a Lucknow-Bareily passenger train in the outskirts of the city early this morning. They decamped with Rs 16,000 cash, three mobile phones, a digital camera and a bag. An FIR has been lodged against unidentified persons.

According to reports, the group of miscreants boarded the train at Nighohan railway station at around 6.30 am. They reportedly started misbehaving and threatening the passengers as soon as the train pulled out of the station.

They first entered into an argument with a female member of the judo team over a seat. When the rest of the judo players objected, the group reportedly beat them up with sticks and other weapons. The train passengers said the group also snatched their valuable.

Times of India, however reports:
On Saturday, a group of hooligans eve-teased some girls in a passenger train, who were on their way back after participating in a karate competition in Allahabad.

Well, you know, karate and judo - it's all basically the same anyhow ... White pajamas and all that jazz.
