A couple from Netharland was arrested today at Fort Railway Station by the police for travelling in a first class compartment with a sleeping berth with second class train tickets in the Chilaw-Fort night train.

The police said the couple had locked down the luxury compartment and stayed inside despite several attempts by police to open it in order to arrest them.

However, the train had also been delayed due to the incident. (K.G.Karunarathne)
