A techie traveling on the New Delhi-Howrah Rajdhani Express recounted a horrifying incident involving a cockroach lodged in his ear. Surya Sen shared a Facebook post detailing the medical emergency he faced due to unhygienic conditions in the train.

He demanded accountability from the Indian Railways to investigate the hygiene and pest infestation in the coach and reimburse his medical expenses.
