A recent graduate has reported harassment from an alleged rail official aboard a train to Bang Mun Nak Police Station. The woman, 23 year old Punyanuch is seeking justice for an incident that took place on August 15.

 

While travelling on train number 202 from Phitsanulok to Nakhon Sawan, she was molested by a man claiming to be a train official. The 46 year old man, Panchai, allegedly behaved inappropriately towards her in the presence of other passengers.

 

Punyanuch, a resident of Bang Mun Nak district, Phichit province, recounted her ordeal, stating she boarded the train from Bang Mun Nak station to go to Nakhon Sawan for a job application. As the train approached Bueng Boraphet, close to Nakhon Sawan, Panchai sat next to her and began to harass her.

The man who seemed to be an employee of the train company leaned in and placed his head on her shoulder and tried to touch her inappropriately. She was too embarrassed to shout out among the other passengers on the train.

 

Which is exactly what she should have done..
