LUCKNOW - A man was found dead under mysterious circumstances inside the toilet of a passenger train in Uttar Pradesh’s Gonda district Tuesday, an official said.
The young man, who appeared to be around 25 years old, was found dead in the afternoon inside a toilet of a general compartment of the Awadh Express that had left Mumbai Monday, the official said.
“The door of the toilet was closed since Monday night. On suspicion, some railway police officials broke open the door today (Tuesday) and found the body inside the toilet,” government railway police inspector J.K. Singh told reporters in Gonda, some 150 km from Lucknow.
“We are yet to identify the young man and his whereabouts. The exact cause of the death is yet to be ascertained,” he added.
The Awadh Express left for Gorakhpur in Uttar Pradesh from Mumbai Monday morning, officials said.
