In a disturbing incident that has sparked widespread outrage, a passenger was arrested for kicking a youth off a moving train in Raipur on suspicion of mobile theft. The accused, identified as R. Suresh Kumar, was taken into custody after a viral video captured the assault.\n\nThe incident occurred on July 15 aboard the Azad Hind Express near Urkura and Mandhar railway stations. The victim, accused of stealing a mobile, clung to the train’s footboard to escape the crowd’s anger. Instead of helping, Kumar repeatedly kicked him, causing him to fall onto the tracks.
