The police ascertained the identity of the body of a 25-year-old woman, who was found murdered in the toilet of a sleeper coach in the Amritsar-boundDibrugarh-Amritsar Express on Wednesday in Ghazipur district.
According to the Government Railway Police (GRP), the deceased was a newly wed bride, Kulbir Kaur. The cops claimed that she was murdered by her husband Amrit Pal Singh, a jawan of the CISF. The police said the family members of deceased lodged an FIR against Amrit Pal on
Friday and police have launched a manhunt to nab him. It may be noted that the GRP had received information about the body on Wednesday when the 17933 UP Dibrugarh-Amritsar Express train reached Ghazipur station in the night. The body was recovered from the toilet of S-1 coach and the woman's neck was slit open.
The woman and her husband had boarded the Dibrugarh-Amritsar Express in Assam and were on their way to Amritsar. The incident occurred just after the train crossed Barauni in Bihar.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the couple had lunched when the train stopped at Barauni railway station around 1 am on fateful day. Thereafter, both of them had gone to the toilet but they did not return to their seats.
When some passenger went to the toilet they found it locked from inside and when further checked they spotted the body of the victim. The motive behind the murder is yet to be ascertained.
