The GRP received a call about a severed head spotted in one of the local trains at the Ambernath car shed.

The GRP found blood on the door of the compartment. Another team was formed to look for the remaining body.

ACP Sunil Patil said, “Around 50m away from the spot where we found the body, there is an electric pole, where we found blood and hair of the deceased. Prima facie, we assume that the deceased who was travelling in the last local train towards Ambernath was on the footboard and hit the pole when the train was speeding. We are checking CCTV footage and identification of the body is going on.”
