Overview

• The Government Railway Police formed a special investigation team on August 9 to track a migrant labourer suspected of robbing ₹8,000 and a mobile phone from the passenger.
• Closed-circuit camera footage from stations along the train’s route has been collected to aid in identifying and apprehending the suspect.
• The suspect allegedly pushed Ammini Jose off the slowly moving Sampark Kranti Express shortly after it departed Kozhikode around 5 a.m.
• Jose suffered minor head injuries in the fall and was treated at Kozhikode Medical College before being discharged.
• The attack highlights ongoing security gaps on Indian trains as law enforcement steps up measures following a series of recent robberies targeting vulnerable travellers.
