Youth thrown out of train, MP seeks action

ITANAGAR, Dec 22: In a shocking incident, a 20-year-old local youth, Limo Loyi, was reportedly thrown out of a moving train by miscreants while returning home from Chennai on the Egmore Express on December 16 evening. He was found in an unconscious state next morning near Panjipara sub-station and rushed to a government hospital at Islampur about 30 kms from the spot before being shifted to the North Bengal Medical College at Siliguri, where he is reportedly struggling for life in an ICU. Doctors attending Loyi have informed that he was hit from behind, which might have made him unconscious.

The GRPF has registered a case at Dolkola Railway Station and supposedly investigating the case. Loyi, however, is still unconscious and not in a position to give any statement to the police.
Taking serious note of the incident Lok Sabha MP Takam Sanjoy today wrote to the Union Minister for Railways Mamta Banerjee to direct the authority concerned to expedite the investigation and arrest the culprits responsible immediately. He also expressed concern that the Railway authorities have not done anything for medical treatment of the youth who is hanging between life and death and appealed the Minister to take the matter as most urgent.
