Railway Protection Force (RPF) constable Anil Rai and Assistant sub-inspector of police Madhusudan have been suspended after a youth was tied outside a train and beaten up following a tiff over drinking water.
According to a complaint filed by victim Sumit Kacchi, he had boarded coach S-2 of Patliputra Express (Patna-Mumbai) from his hometown Jabalpur that day. Feeling thirsty, he drank some water from the bottle belonging to one of the accused, who were on the way to Mumbai for writing an examination, without asking them.
The accused were so infuriated that they pulled the chain and stopped the train between Jabalpur and Itarsi stations, tied Kacchi's leg to outer side of the window, beat him and forced him to travel in that position for nearly four hours, eye witnesses said.
At Itarsi, some vendors who got onto the coach released him. But the accused beat him with belts at the Itarsi station too, eye witnesses said.
He filed a complaint with the GRP following which the accused were arrested at Itarsi on the same day.
Itarsi station in-charge of the Government Railway Police PK Joshi said, "Vicky (24), Ravi (25) and Balram (24), students from Patna, were arrested on the complaint of the victim Sumit Kacchi (25) for assault and other offences on March 25 itself."
