Netaji (Patil) and his men stranded the train for nearly an hour, which was a serious offense under the Railway Act. Netaji and his supporters pulled the chain every time the train moved forward and the 9.10 pm Devgiri Express finally departed around 10 pm CST. ”
In an interview, Hemant defended his actions, claiming that he stopped the train because the railways was not providing proper service, saying:
The railways provide poor services to the people and MLAs. Despite several meetings with them to ensure clean beds, sanitized toilets and better services, no changes were seen. So, to question the Railways, we are not letting the trains run. “
