Man accused of causing fire incident onboard train in Kerala yet to be identified: Police

Railway police on Monday said it was yet to identify the man who allegedly set fire to a co-passenger on board an express train leading to the death of three persons and injuries to nine others the previous night.

A case of murder has been lodged against the accused, police said.

The bodies of a woman, a one-year-old infant and a man, who went missing from the train after the fire, were recovered from the tracks near the Elathur railway station here, late on Sunday night.

Police believe they fell off the train or attempted to get down after seeing the fire.
