A 12-year-old boy, who was pushed out of a train by two Railway Protection Force jawans near Hyderabad, succumbed to injuries on Tuesday.
However, rather than booking the two jawans, the Government Railway Police has registered an accident case.
The post-mortem has been conducted and the body is at the Gandhi General Hospital, Secunderabad. No one has come forward to claim it.
GRP sources said that the boy, who earned his living by selling samosas in trains, hailed from Bhongir mandal in Nalgonda district.
Inquiries by the GRP revealed that he had been living on the city's outskirts and had no contacts with his family. His name was Mahesh, and not Vikram, as reported earlier.
The boy had tried to board the Secunderabad-Warangal train just when it started leaving Cherlapalli railway station on Monday night.
However, the jawans stopped him and asked for ticket. Since he could not produce one, they pushed him out. Mahesh landed on the tracks and came under the train.
Noticing the incident, enraged passengers pulled the emergency chain and brought the train to a halt. They thrashed the jawans -- Sudhakar and Mohammed Osman -- and pelted stones on the railway staff. They set fire to a generator, a moped and two bicycles, ransacked the stationmaster's cabin, smashed windowpanes and wrecked the furniture.
Meanwhile, the Hyderabad-bound AP Express was stopped and the boy was taken to the Gandhi Hospital, where his left arm and leg had to be amputated. He died on Tuesday morning.
