Allahabad : A 25-year-old man died late on Tuesday night after he was
allegedly thrown down from a moving train near Bamrauli in Allahabad.
His wife and uncle, who were accompanying him, alleged that it was
murder, committed by the relatives of his wife, who were opposed to
their inter-caste marriage.
Six months ago, Naresh Yadav, a resident of Sikandara Rau in Hathras
district, had married Babli, a member of a scheduled caste, against
the wishes of her family.
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.
