Decomposing body found on express train in India

It happened on the Jhelum Express:

A decomposed body was found in the second class reservation compartment of the Pune-Jammutavi Jhelum Express on Thursday evening when it arrived at the Pune railway station to depart for Jammu & Kashmir. The incident delayed the departure of the train for sometime.

The train arrived at the Pune station at around 5.20pm. Passengers who boarded the train complained of foul smell emanating from the compartment. Officials of the railway protection force (RPF) and government railway police (GRP) while inspecting the compartment found the body that appeared to be two-three days old.

Authorities are puzzled, of course:

Senior RPF officials said they were investigating how the body was not found, while the rakes* were being washed. "It is possible that the body was placed inside the rake after it was cleaned. It will then be a failure on the part of the Carriage and Wagon department, who are supposed to ensure that the SLR bogies are locked."

Another senior railway official, on condition of anonymity, said such incidences were far from rare. "We regularly recover bodies in trains originating from the city. Miscreants want to place such cases of murder or suicide into the railway police jurisdiction."

* Rake is a term used in some countries for 'train car.'
