The body of a young man was found hanging early on Monday in the compartment of a passenger train, police said. The body of the deceased was discovered on a train plying between Saharnpur and Moradabad.
A Government Railway Police (GRP) officer told IANS that a man had boarded the train at Saharanpur, got into the brake van (luggage carrying coach) and bolted it from inside. Some co-passengers tried to get him to open the door, but to no avail.
GRP constables finally broke open the door at Moradabad, only to find the youth hanging from a piece of cloth. He was dead when the police found him, the officer said. The body has been sent for post-mortem and efforts are on to identify the victim, the officer added.
