Man Arrested in Bihar for Impersonation, Extortion, and Train Passenger Murders
Rohit Tiwari, 25, was arrested in Bihar for impersonating police and railway officials to extort money from train passengers, mainly targeting labourers and young travellers in disabled-friendly coaches.

Police investigations revealed Tiwari's involvement in similar past crimes, including two other train-related murders. Authorities continue probing his possible role in additional cases.
