Man Killed After Dispute Over Reserved Seat on Train in Gujarat
Imagine a man with a disability named Hitesh was on a train.
The train had a special section just for people like him.
Two other men, who were not supposed to be there, got into the special section.
Hitesh told them they weren't allowed, and they got into a fight.
Sadly, the men pushed Hitesh off the train, and he died.
The police found his body and arrested the two men.
