Summary:
The accused identified as Ritwik Shukla was booked by Gittikhadan police for forgery and breach of trust. PSI Ingoley said that Shukla ran into shrubs along the tracks and entered a nearby locality. Though Shukla had been booked by Gittikhadan police, New Kamptee police handed him over to Goa police without checking records. Shukla sensed the escape route as the train chugged into Malkapur station in Buldhana district and a single jerk reportedly freed his hand from the handcuff.
