Hyderabad, April 5 -- A 12-year-old girl was allegedly sexually assaulted by a fellow passenger in a washroom aboard the Raxual-Secunderabad Express during a journey from Jharsuguda to Secunderabad on Wednesday, the Railway Protection Force (RPS) said.

According to a release by the RPS Secunderabad, the accused reportedly recorded the assault on his mobile phone, prompting outrage and a swift response from authorities.

The complaint was initially registered at the Kachiguda Railway Police based on the complaint from the girl's father on Thursday.

However, since the incident occurred outside their jurisdiction, the case has been transferred to the Railway Protection Force (RPS) in Itwari, Maharashtra, for further investigation.
