Army Jawan Fatally Stabbed on Sabarmati Express After Blanket Dispute
A young soldier named Jigar was traveling on a train called the Sabarmati Express.
It was late at night and he was cold, so he asked a train worker for an extra blanket.
The worker, named Juber, said no because the blankets were only for people in the fancy AC train cars.
Jigar was unhappy, and they started arguing.
The argument got really heated, and Juber got very angry.
He pulled out a knife and stabbed Jigar several times.
The train stopped at the next station, Bikaner, where doctors sadly confirmed Jigar had passed away.
Police arrested Juber and are investigating the sad event.
