Kolkata, Jun 25: A madrasa teacher from West Bengal was allegedly tortured and pushed off a moving train by a group of unknown people on Monday. The 26-year-old Hafeez Mohd Sahrukh Haldar said the incident took place whilst travelling from Canning in South 24 Parganas district to Hooghly.
As per New Indian Express report, the man claimed that he was forced to chant ‘Jai Shri Ram’ inside the compartment. “When I refused to chant, they beat me and nobody came to my rescue. The incident took place while the train was between Dhakuria and Park Circus stations. They pushed me off the train at Park Circus station. Some locals helped me.”
He sustained minor injuries and was taken to Chittaranjan Hospital for further treatment, said a railway police official. The real cause behind the act is still not proven, however the police said, “It seems that he was assaulted during the journey due to boarding and deboarding issues. There were two to three people who sustained minor injuries. Investigation is on and no one has been arrested.”
