The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has chargesheeted the sole accused in the Kerala train arson case that left three persons, including a child, dead and nine injured in April, an official said on Saturday.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) today conducted searches in Delhi's Shaheen Bagh in this year's April 2 Elathur train arson attack case.

The SIT which has been probing the train arson incident of Kerala that resulted in the loss of three lives, on Monday said the accused is a "highly radicalised" person who reached the state to commit the crime in a pre-planned manner.

A court here on Friday granted 11-day police custody of the man who started a fire onboard a train in Kerala that left three people dead and many injured on April 2.

The man suspected of starting a fire onboard a train in Kerala which led to the death of three, including a toddler, was brought to the southern state by road on Thursday morning after being caught in Ratnagiri in Maharashtra on the previous day.

The accused had poured petrol on a passenger and set him ablaze inside the D1 compartment of the Alappuzha-Kannur Executive Express train three days ago.

Kerala DGP Anil Kant on Monday said that a special investigation team will be formed to investigate the train fire incident in which a man poured petrol on co-passengers and set fire on one of them killing three people including an infant.

The accused poured an inflammable liquid, believed to be petrol, on a co-passenger and set him on fire resulting in burn injuries to nine other passengers, police said.

Three persons, including a one-year-old child and a woman, were found dead on the tracks near the Elathur railway station here, hours after a man allegedly set afire a co-passenger and injured eight others on board an express train.

A fire broke out in a parcel van of the Mangaluru-Thiruvananthapuram Malabar Express train about 40 kms from here on Sunday, Railway sources said.

A woman traveling on a train in Kerala's Kannur district was set on fire in an empty compartment on Monday.
