In a ghastly incident that was caught on camera, a 30-year-old man allegedly killed his wife by pushing her in front of a moving train. The incident took place at around 4.10 am on Monday, August 22, at Vasai railway station in Maharashtra’s Palghar district, police stated.
However, in another commendable act by the city police, they have arrested the man a day later, August 23.
The CCTV footage shows the man waking his sleeping wife up, dragging her to the edge of the railway platform and pushing her on the tracks in the path of an express train.
The woman was sleeping with her two children on Platform No 5, when her husband woke her up and killed her by pushing her in front of the Awadh Express. The victim was badly mutilated and died on the spot, police official added.
The CCTV footage shows the man picking up his two children with a backpack and fleeing the platform, the official said.

The man was later spotted boarding a train to Dadar and from there to Kalyan and was seen at both these railway stations, Mahajan said, adding that a hunt has been launched to nab him.
The four spent the night on the platform but early Monday morning, the man woke the woman up and within a few seconds dragged and pushed her off the platform just as the train rushed past.
According to the police, the couple was earlier seen quarrelling and then sleeping on the platform with their children. A case under section 302 (murder) of the IPC, the official said.
