The Story in Brief
The Government Railway Police and RPF have arrested Raj Kumar Sharma, a 47-year-old Nepal native, for allegedly murdering an unidentified man at Huppuguda railway station on August 2.

He allegedly attacked the victim with a granite stone and a cement brick after accusing him of stealing his bag.

The real question is why railway platforms remain unsafe for even the most basic needs like sleep. Watch for the post-mortem report and the identity of the victim, if he is also a migrant, the story will be quietly dropped.
