Man's intestines spill out as Bihar rail cops beat up passengers

PATNA: Govt Railway Police (GRP) personnel thrashed a man (25) so savagely during a fracas over train seats that his intestines spilled out. The incident happened at a station in Bihar's Sitamarhi district late Thursday.
The near-fatal baton blows on Mohammad Furkaan, who had undergone surgery a few days ago, landed him in Muzaffarpur's Sri Krishna Medical College and Hospital in critical condition and sparked a rampage at Janakpur Road Station.
The fury was fuelled by viral videos showing the cops pummelling Furkaan. Sitamarhi Rail SP Gaurav Mangla said two constables had been suspended and a probe ordered into the violence.
Furkaan had gone to see off a family member on Mumbai-bound Karmabhoomi Express. As the train rolled in, chaos ensued due to overcrowding and a scramble began to board it. Amid the scrum, a fight broke out over seats.
GRP personnel used batons to disperse passengers. A cop's baton struck Furkaan on his still-sutured abdomen, causing his intestines to be exposed. Rail SP Mangla claimed some of the cops were also assaulted.
