A gold chain, ring and some cash were looted from the couple at dagger point in the AC compartment of the running train. The couple had boarded the train at Damoh for Delhi. Narrating her harrowing experience, Sudha Malaiya said outside Parliament, "We were travelling by Jabalpur- Nizamuddin Express train to Delhi and we boarded the train at Damoh. There was a knock at the door of our coupe at about 4 AM and when I opened the door a person carrying dagger entered forcefully followed by four others."

Sudha, who is also a BJP worker, said, "Then they snatched my purse, chain and ring. They also took away money from my husband's purse. There was another ring on my left hand which was not coming out and they threatened to cut my finger. However, one of the robbers tried to pull that ring but could not succeed."
