The Government Railway Police in Bareilly arrested Pankaj Rajput, 25, from Moradabad for allegedly pushing Bihar cleric Maulana Tauseef Raza off a moving train on April 26, leading to his death. The incident reportedly followed a dispute over a mobile phone. Police investigations, aided by passenger testimonies and video clips, reclassified the case as culpable homicide. Raza's wife filed a complaint after receiving a distress call from him before his phone was switched off.
