At sunday that night, kerala's alappuzha kannur express, when it reached Korapuzha railway bridge beyond Kozhikode city. Unexpectedly the train's emergency chain has been pullled off and train was stopped. And the train was stopped in between the bridge, Since it was stopped in between the centre of the bridge, Officials panicked and came there to what has happened, Now some of the passenegers said the officials that the D1 compartment is on fire, Immediately they went to the compartment and saw, and there what they saw was very horrible, immediately they informed the police. When the police came and investigated, the passengers said strange thinks to them, and the police was shocked to see that,

So what the passengers said to the police?

Why the train was stopped?

And how did the police stopped the case?

About the kerala train incident which shocked the whole India,

A boy named Shahrukh Saifi in Delhi, was a silent and afraid one, Infact he has not even went out of Delhi, and he was unaware of the outer world,but he was interested in the carpentry work so he started learning it, and he became expert in that, so without wasting the skills, he thought of doing something with that, so on september 14, 2015, he started a youtube channel named Shahrukh saifi's carpentry, and to expose his talent and skills, He uploaded a lot of carpentry videos, now during march 31, 2023 he suddenly went missing from Delhi, and from Delhi he went straight to kerala, when he reached Kerala he went to a petrol bunk nearby, bought 2 bottles of petrol which is of 4 litres. On april 2, 2023, he went to Alappuzha railway station, and exactly at 2.30 pm on Alappuzha kannur express. That is, in a executive express passenger train he boarded in D1 compartment, now it's been sometime since the train left, time was exactly 9.45 pm, When the train is passing through Kozhikode city, Between Elathur and Koyilandi railway stations on Korapuzha railway bridge.At that time Shahrukh started a conflict with his co-passengers,and it became a fight in a few minutes, it changed into a big fight. When they were fighting, Shahrukh put his hands on his bag, and took a bottle out, when he took the bottle what the passengers thought is, He is going to pour water on them, but it is not water it is petrol, After he poured that on them, they came to realize that it is a petrol, But before they realized and react to it, without even considering the kids and women, he lit the fire, Seeing this all the passengers were shocked and didn't know what to do. They started running here and there to save their lives, the compartment became a riot. In this panick situation, some of them managed to esacpe to the next compartment, But 9 of them got stuck, since the fire is spreading fast, the compartment was full of smoke, So no one couldn't see who is next, And everyone started screaming in pain, Immediately other passengers pulled the emergency chain and stopped the train, immediately the train was stopped, Now some of them escaped to the next compartment right, With them Shahrukh also escaped to the next compartment. Now since the emergency was pulled, the officials went to the compartment to see what happened, what they saw there was very horrible. They were shocked to see the burnt passengers, immediately they informed this to the higher officials, sent the victims to various hospitals including Kozhikode medical college.

Now the police started investigating the cause of fire, and after collecting the evidence and conducting a general investigation, they sent the train from there, when the train reached the final station, all the passengers got down from the train, with them Shahrukh also got down and went. Now when they were looking for some other evidence.

The next morning near elathur railway station, 100 feet away from the incident they found three dead bodies, the police thought that these bodies might be linked with the train incident, so they started investigating the bodies. That's when they noticed that three people were missing, not only that when the train reached Kannur station, some of the family members registered a missing complaint, and proving that a slipper and a phone was found, when they cross checked the bodies, it was confirmed that the bodies belong to the train incident.

How their body was in the train track?

When they were looking for the reasons,

When Shahrukh lit the fire on people,

To escape from that, They jumped off the running train in that their head was severly injured they died on the spot, with an importment eye witness latheesh, who was a passenger of D1 compartment.

They prepared a sketch of how Shahrukh will be and in the investigation what the other passengers said is, when the suspect lit the fire, he saw that he was also injured in it, It was an important lead for the police, not only that by looking all the evidences, the police thought that it was a well planned attack.

Now the sketched photo of shahrukh was sent and alerted, they said that if anyone saw a person with burns they should inform the police,

What made the police to think it was planned attack?

He did that when the train was going in the bridge, the reason why he chose the bridge is so then he can cause maximum damage, because no one can escape from the train inbetween the bridge, the police investigated every side of the case. When the police collected evidence from the crime scene, they found a bag there, in that they found a bottle of petrol, 2 mobile phone, 1 lunch box, and a pair od dress, when they checked the phone. The last call was made two days before the incident that is march 30. They thought that it was a terrorist attack, Other than the police NIA and anti-terrorist officers were involved in this case. At the same time, from kannur station Shahrukh took a maharastra train, jumped off from the train near Ratnagiri, when he jumped he fainted there itself, seeing this the local peoples of that area. Admitted him in the nearby hospital, first aid was done. Sent him to a big hospital in an ambulance with a doctor and a nurse, when we was going in an ambulance he came to concious, When he opened his eyes he was frightened attacked the people in the ambulance and esacped through a truck, after he escaped he was roaming on the bridge for 2 days, After that when he came to the railway station police saw him with the supicious burns, immediately arrested him, after that it is confirmed that he is the suspect, immediately it was informed to the kerala police and he was surrendered to them, some things were ceased from him, in that a handwritten note were found, the things written on the note created a lot of questions about his intentions.

What was there in the notes?

Non believers should be defeated and only that will lead to pure glory, with that in capital letters it was written as, "DO IT, LET'S DO IT", with that there was some names of the places in Kerala and Tamil Nadu,

What police said that about this is,

Shahrukh has already confessed his actions, when he was caught in maharastra he said that he was working for a gang, when he reached kerala he changed his statement that he did this alone, not only that Shahrukh didn't say anything about his motive or who is behind this. So in the court he was asked to taken into 11 days custody for investigation, now Shahrukh is in police custody,even though they didn't get a confession from Shahrukh, Police and NIA believed that it was a planned terrorist attack, But in the internet some of them say that he is a psycho and he did all this for attention, But the original intention will come out only if he speaks.
