While entering, Ansari’s foot touched Bahot. This led to an argument and a fistfight. When the train stopped at Chunabhatti, Bahot and Chauhan dragged Ansari out and started hitting him.

They fled when Ansari fell unconscious. His friends got in touch with railway policemen who took Ansari to KEM. He died of his injuries on the fifth day.  The Wadala police arrested the two based on the description given by Ansari’s friends.
