Bihar man held for 2 train murders, probe into other killings underway: Cop
Tiwari was arrested from the Bihar-Uttar Pradesh border by a special team led by Danapur Railway DSP Kanchan Raj
Bihar authorities have apprehended Rohit Tiwari, a resident of Bhojpur, for allegedly murdering two passengers on moving trains in the Ara-DDU railway section. The arrest came after police discovered Tiwari's contradictory statements during initial interrogation and found evidence tying him to other unsolved murders. Authorities allege that Tiwari targeted minors, laborers, and drug-addicted passengers, particularly those traveling in disabled compartments, posing as STF or RPF personnel.
He demanded money under the pretext of checking tickets or imposing fines for smoking. Nitin Kumar, a 21-year-old migrant laborer, was killed on September 19 after a scuffle over a 'fine' he refused to pay. His body was found with his hands tied near the tracks, and his family paid ₹17,000 to claim his lifeless body after being deceived by Tiwari.
Kailash Kumar, also found dead on the tracks, was identified among the victims. The police are probing additional killings linked to Tiwari's alleged modus operandi.
