8 arrested for dumping woman’s body in train

The Thane GRP has solved the mystery behind the body of a young woman that was found in a suburban train at Kalwa car shed, nearly a month ago.  The police have arrested six Kalwa youth in connection with the case. Two youth had already been arrested earlier.

HS Jadhav, senior PI from Thane Railway police, said the woman was resident of a slum in Kalwa and was friendly with one of the accused, Bihari. On June 17, he called her to a lonely place near Mafatlal Mills at Kalwa.

There, he along with seven others raped her. When she threatened to go to police, they stabbed her to death and threw her body in the train which had stopped at Kharegaon railway crossing before entering the Kalwa car shed.

Later that night, at around 11pm, Ajitsingh Hinglal Kalam, a constable from Railway Protection Force (RPF) who was on duty in the Kalwa car shed found the woman’s body.

The accused were arrested by Navi Mumbai police while preparing for a robbery.
