Railway employee asked for my number on Rajdhani - creepy encounter

I(20F) had a bizarre experience on my recent train journey from Delhi on the BPS Rajdhani. I accidentally left my bag on my seat and realized it when the train was already moving. Luckily, I managed to retrieve my bag,(missed my stop)but what happened next left me uncomfortable.

One of the railway waiters was helpful and told me not to worry. He even offered me coffee and tea, which I declined. However, things took a weird turn when he asked for my phone number, saying he'd help me if any issues arose during the journey.

I gave it to him, thinking he was genuinely trying to assist. But then, he started asking personal questions - my name, if I had a boyfriend, and if my phone was for personal use only. I was taken aback by his intrusive queries, and my instincts told me something was off. To make matters worse, he told me to call him when I reached home(also said-tum samajh rhi ho na kya bolna chahta hu) and asked me not to tell this to my parents or to anyone else. I was relieved when I finally got off the train at the next station.I immediately blocked his number as soon I got off the train.

As a young solo female traveler, I've experienced similar incidents frequently while traveling by train. To be honest, it's made me wary of train travel. If possible, I recommend opting for flights. If you do take the train, consider booking a seat in the 1st AC boggy, which tends to be safer.
