The family then went to Kalka,where they were told that Munish was found unconscious in the train and was admitted to the civil hospital.
Though his condition is stated to be stable,the victim was referred to General Hospital,Sector 6,late in the evening.
Munish claimed that he met two persons at the New Delhi railway station,who boarded the train with him. They later gave him something to drink,which was laced with drugs and he lost consciousness.
