Yadav youth married to Dalit ‘thrown down’ from moving train in Allahabad,dies

Babli’s parents lodged an FIR against Naresh at Sikandara Rau police station under Sections 363 and 366 (kidnapping,abducting or inducing a woman for marriage) of the Indian Penal Code.

The couple moved lower court for a stay on Naresh’s arrest,but it was rejected.

Finally,they filed a petition for the same in Allahabad High Court,which stayed Naresh’s arrest on Tuesday.

After getting reprieve from the court,the couple,accompanied by Naresh’s uncle Yogendra Yadav,were returning home by Allahabad-Mathura Express,when the incident took place near Bamrauli past midnight.

“I was sitting on a berth and my husband was standing near the vestibule,” Babli said. “ When the train stopped,I heard people shouting and was told that Naresh has been thrown off the train.”

She alleged that her father Ohman had hired men to kill Naresh. Naresh’s uncle also accused the girl’s family of murder.

According to Yogendra,Ohman’s men were following them from Allahabad High Court.

“They were there at the platform on Tuesday night,” he said. “We tried to dodge them and boarded Mathura Express at 11.30 pm but somehow they managed to trace us. I was in the toilet when I heard the commotion. Passengers told me that some men had dragged Naresh to the door and pushed him from the moving train.”

The GRP,however,termed it an accident.

“But if the deceased’s wife or uncle submits a written complaint against anyone to us,we will definitely lodge an FIR. But so far,there is no written complaint against anyone in this connection,” said GRP Inspector N P Singh.

Yogendra said the family will lodge a case after Naresh’s parents arrive in Allahabad to take charge of the body which has been sent for a postmortem at SRN hospital.
