Ritesh, the victim, was sitting near the door of a general coach of the Kamayani Express yesterday when Rajmal Pal aka Rajju (27) kicked him out, said a Government Railway Police (GRP) official here.
According to Riesh's cousin who was accompanying him, Pal said before kicking Ritesh that 'I am going to die anyway, so I am killing you'.
The victim and the accused didn't know each other, nor was there any dispute between them before the incident which could have acted as a trigger, said Hemant Shrivastava, in-charge, GRP police station, Bhopal.
Sumit Singh told police that Pal emerged from the toilet and said to Ritesh, "Mujhe to marnaa hi hai, is-liye tujhe maar raha hoon (I have to die anyway, so I am killing you)," and then kicked him out before others understood what was happening.
"We have arrested the accused and registered a case. Further investigations are underway," Shrivastava said.
Sukhi Sewania police station in-charge Mahendra Mishra said that Pal was returning from Allahabad after performing the last rites of his mother. Ritesh and Sumit were travelling from Allahabad to Bhopal for a wedding.
