Koyilandy: Police said that the death of an unidentified youth on the railway track between Koyilandy and Vadakara was murder. According to police, a co-passenger shoved the 30-year-old man from the train following a verbal spat.
The incident happened on Sunday night. Police found that a Tamil Nadu native, Sonamuthu, pushed the youth from Mangaluru Central - Thiruvananthapuram Central Daily Malabar Express following an altercation.
