The man suspected of starting a fire onboard a train in Kerala which led to the death of three, including a toddler, was brought to the southern State by road on Thursday morning after being caught in Ratnagiri in Maharashtra on the previous day.
Presently he is being examined by a team of doctors at the Kozhikode Medical College, Kerala Police Chief Anil Kant told reporters. Kant said doctors from all disciplines, including orthopedics and general medicine, and forensics are examining him. “We have not started questioning him. We will begin questioning him once he is cleared for it by the medical team,” he said.
Kant also said which provisions of law, including UAPA, should be invoked against the suspect — Shahrukh Saifi — and whether there were others behind the fire incident, would be decided after he was questioned.
