Three arrested for pushing senior citizen onto track in metro station
Hyderabad (PTI): Three persons were arrested here for allegedly pushing a senior citizen onto the track from the platform of a metro station here following an argument, police said on Tuesday.
The senior citizen, while travelling in the metro train here on October 21, told the youth that they were sitting in the seats meant for old-age people and asked them to vacate, which led to an argument.
The senior citizen tried to lodge a complaint by calling up the number displayed on the train and told the youth that the police would arrive at the next station.
The youth, who were allegedly drunk, alighted the train when the train stopped at the next station and sought to leave the place. But the senior citizen tried to stop them.
They pushed him from the platform, and he fell on the track.
Based on a complaint by the senior citizen, an attempt to murder case was registered and the trio were arrested on November 3, police added.

Only escort, pilot vehicles for CM's car; people should not be blocked: Satheesan
Thiruvananthapuram (PTI): One of the first decisions taken by Kerala Chief Minister-designate V D Satheesan after being picked for the post was to limit his convoy to three vehicles, in contrast to his predecessor’s large motorcade that had drawn criticism from various quarters.
According to party sources, Satheesan has directed that only a pilot and escort vehicle should accompany his official car and people on the road should not be blocked while he travels.
His decision is a major shift from the VIP culture of ministers as well as the huge motorcade of more than 10 vehicles that was seen when Pinarayi Vijayan used to travel.
Even former Kerala CM Oommen Chandy also did not have a huge motorcade like that of Vijayan.
