In a shocking incident, a man was tied to a train's window and thrashed by three passengers after he drank water from their bottle.

The incident took place on Friday, March 25, when the victim Sumit Kachi, a resident of Jabalpur was travelling to Mumbai where he works as a laborer had taken a sip of water from the bottle of a co-passenger without his permission.

Sumit's act infuriated them so much that they assaulted him and pulled the emergency chain to bring the train to a halt and dragged Sumit out and tied him to a window. Unaware of the incident, the train driver released the brakes and started the train again with Sumit hanging outside the coach.

The accused men are natives of Patna and were on their way to Mumbai to appear for a competitive exam. The Railway Protection Force (RPF) has filed an FIR against them and is investigating the case.
