The checks will be conducted when personnel mark their attendance at GRP outposts before boarding their first escorting trip for the night. It will likely be a brief face-to-face interaction to spot tell-tale signs of drunken behaviour, said officials.
TOI has found at least two other instances of night escort staffers reporting drunk on duty last year.
A mix of GRP constables and home guards escort the 24-hour ladies compartments on all rakes between 8.30 pm and 6 am. An official said that around 500 home guards have been assigned to the GRP but less than half of them turn up for duty on weekends. "The training they are provided is basic and their pay is modest. Home guards do not have the power to make arrests and are instructed to haul offenders to the nearest GRP outpost," said this official.
An inquiry was instituted into last week's episode involving More, and statements of witnesses were recorded. More was packed off to the home guards headquarters. But top GRP officials do not rule out the possibility of an FIR being filed against him if an aggrieved commuter comes forward with a serious complaint.
"We now intend to brief home guards and sensitize them. Checks will be conducted on all personnel to find out if any of them is inebriated before reporting for escorting duty," said GRP commissioner Ravinder Singal.
In October 2014, GRP constable Prakash Sakpal faced an inquiry after he got into a local train headed to the yard and left his weapons inside. Sakpal, who was reportedly sloshed, mistook the train to be a Panvel local. On realizing that he was in the yard, he got off onto the tracks and left. On learning that his weapons were missing, the GRP had to later send a team to the yard to retrieve them. Then, in November 2014, GRP constable Ramesh Deore was suspended after he dropped his rifle on the tracks while standing on the footboard of a local train between Khardi and Kasara stations. Deore was reportedly drunk. Several GRP teams hunted for the rifle and found it few days later. Both, Sakpal and Deore, were on night escort duty.
