Bihar Man Arrested for Kidnapping and Throwing Passenger from Moving Train
Rohit Tiwari, a 25-year-old from Bihar, was arrested for impersonating police and kidnapping passengers on trains to extort fines. He targeted laborers and young travelers, demanding money for alleged smoking or ticket violations. In September, he kidnapped 21-year-old Nitin Kumar, tied him up, and threw him from a moving train, leading to Nitin's death. Police revealed Rohit had committed similar crimes in 2024, survived by victims, and used multiple fake identities to deceive passengers. A special investigation team handled the case.
