The accused were identified as Mohd Fayyaz Mohd Hashimuddin, Sayyad Sameer Sayyad Jimal, M Shyam Koteshwar Rao and Mohd Amam Mohd Akbar. All of them are residents of Hyderabad.
Shashank confronted the four thieves when he found them stealing the mobile phone of a co-passenger. It was at that time when he realised that his ₹1700 was missing.
A heated confrontation ensued between the victim and the four accused. The latter thrashed Shashank beaten mercilessly, causing him to vomit and become unconscious.
He was declared dead when the railway doctors examined him at the Nagpur railway station. While other passengers nabbed two of the accused, the remaining two hid in the train.
All four were later detained by the Government Railway Police (GRP) in Nagpur. They were booked on charges of murder.
