Woman found dead inside train toilet; husband, child missing

According to police, the train had left Bandra on Sunday at 11 am. The woman then went into the toilet but when she did not return for a long time, the passengers informed the TTE onboard.

A special halt was then given at Dahanu road railway station where the staff managed to open the door and found the woman on the floor unconscious with a cloth around her neck. She was taken to Cottage hospital in Palghar where she was declared dead.
