A man was found dead by suicide in the toilet of the Nandigram Express on Friday. The discovery was made when the train arrived at Dadar station, and Railway Protection Force (RPF) staff found him hanging with a cloth during an inspection. He was declared dead at Sion Hospital.
The deceased, a Ghatkopar resident, had fled to his village in Parbhani after being accused in a molestation case at the Ghatkopar police station last month, according to a police officer. Preliminary investigations suggest that the stress from the criminal case led to his suicide. His family, however, insists that he was falsely accused.
The Dadar Government Railway Police (GRP) are investigating the exact circumstances of the suicide. The man had worked as a laborer in Ghatkopar.
