Officials say the trio face charges under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for causing hurt to a public servant.

Overview

  • The on-duty Railway Protection Force constable at Kalyan station Thursday afternoon moved to check a passenger’s report of an assault and was then attacked.
  • Police identified the accused as Abdulmani Kallu Sheikh, 57, and his sons Salman, 21, and Sarkar, 36.
  • Bystanders pinned the three men down, and the constable was taken to hospital.
