NHRC Investigates Army Jawan's Alleged Murder on Train
A soldier named Jigar was traveling home on a train when he got into an argument with a train worker named Zubair.
The argument was reportedly about bedsheets.
Sadly, the argument turned violent, and Zubair allegedly stabbed Jigar.
Jigar was from Gujarat and was on his way home when this happened as the train passed through Rajasthan.
The police have arrested Zubair and are investigating why exactly the fight happened.
A human rights group heard about this and told a big human rights organization, the NHRC, to look into it.
The NHRC is now asking the railway companies important questions about how they hire train workers and if they check their backgrounds properly.
They want to make sure this kind of thing doesn't happen again and that Jigar's family gets justice.
The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has taken cognizance of the alleged murder of Army Jawan Naik Jigar Chaudhary.
The incident reportedly occurred on the Jammu Tawi-Sabarmati Express when it was passing through Rajasthan.
The alleged motive for the fatal altercation appears to be an argument over bedsheets between Chaudhary and the coach attendant, Zubair Memon.
An FIR has been filed, and the accused coach attendant, Zubair Memon, has been arrested and remanded for further investigation.
The NHRC has issued notices to the Railway Board and Railway Protection Force seeking an Action Taken Report and answers to specific questions.
