When Mohsin and his colleague opposed it the youths started to fight with them by accusing them to eat beef. The victim Mohsin was killed and his friends were also injured in the incident. One accused has been taken into custody, but his identity yet to be disclosed by the police. SP of GRP, Kamaldeep Goyal says the fight started in the train with seat, which took bigger form. There was no issue like beef, but some people tried to give it the colour of communalism. He said adequate security would be made in trains.
