New Delhi, January 24: Asking a catering manager to take his articles to a train through a proper passage cost a 53-year-old railway police constable his life this morning.
The incident took place at New Delhi railway station at around 6 AM, and the deceased has been identified as Riyaz, a Government Railway Police (GRP) constable. He was on duty at Platform no one, police said.
“Riyaz objected to the caterer’s men bringing articles to load them in a train through an unauthorised route. He asked them to take a proper gate and not the back gate.
“On this, a heated argument ensued resulting in a scuffle. Riyaz suffered injuries in the scuffle and was rushed to nearby Lady Hardinge Hospital but he did not survive,” a senior police official said.
A case has been registered and Dhanpat was arrested. According to the Delhi Police, around 17 per cent of the murders in the capital is due to sudden provocation or triggered by trivial issues.
