NEW DELHI (AFP) – Police said on Thursday they discovered the body of a man that had travelled undetected for 900 kilometres across northern India locked inside a train toilet.
They believe the man boarded the train days before it set off from Bihar state and died inside the lavatory after locking the door.
Railway police officer Ram Sahay told AFP they forced the door open after passengers complained of the smell.
The Saharsa-Amritsar Jan Sewa Express had by then travelled for nearly 24 hours from its starting point. The entire journey takes 35 hours.
