Kolkata: One person has been arrested in connection with the beheading of a man by a group of assailants in a crowded compartment of a train in West Bengal's Murshidabad district, police said on Tuesday.
The incident took place on Monday when the Katwa-Azimgunj Passenger train was entering Bazarsau station in Murshidabad district. A group of assailants attacked Khokon Ghosh, 37, and to the horror of other passengers chopped off his head.
"We have arrested a man who is suspected to be behind the beheading of Ghosh. We are interrogating him and other suspects will be apprehended soon," Superintendent of Railway Police (Howrah) MK Das told IANS.
There were at least five to six attackers and Ghosh, a small trader, was probably murdered over some business-related issue, police said.
