Commuter dies of brain haemorrhage at Mumbai’s Reay Road railway station; RPF constable and MSF jawan booked for negligence

Police said that on February 14, Allauddin Mujahid, a salesman from Sewri, boarded a train to go to his workplace at about 2.13 pm.

After he felt some discomfort, Mujahid got off the train at Reay Road railway station on the Harbour line of the Mumbai suburban railway and sat on a bench at platform number 2, where he collapsed.

An officer said, “After scanning CCTV cameras, it came to light that the two personnel, instead of providing him medical assistance, carried him to the luggage compartment of a train.”

His body was recovered at around 8.15am on February 16 at the Goregaon railway station after which he was taken to Shatabdi hospital, where he was declared brought dead. An accidental death report was registered and an inquiry was initiated.

“While postmortem report revealed that he died due to brain haemorrhage, it also came to light that the two personnel did not provide him medical assistance immediately,” said the officer.

According to sources, the two personnel thought Mujahid was a drug addict so they put him in the luggage department of a train.
