Mulki: A youngster was reportedly murdered for his money on a train traveling from Bengaluru to Murdeshwar, as discovered during an inspection by the railway coach manager on Friday. A case has been registered at the Mulki police station regarding the incident.

The deceased has been identified as Mouzam (35), son of Ameer Khan from Kumarapete in Chikkaballapur. Mouzam was working as a sales representative when he was attacked by assailants who allegedly strangled him with an object to rob him of his bag of money and mobile phone.

Mouzam was found unconscious in a railway coach in Udupi and was rushed to the district hospital, where doctors confirmed his death. His relative, Arif Ullah Khan, has filed a complaint with the Mulki police, and a case has been registered.

Meanwhile, it has come to light that Mouzam’s mobile location was last detected in Sakleshpur, leading to suspicions that the murder may have occurred in the vicinity. Mulki Police Inspector Vidyadhar D. Baikerekar is conducting a thorough investigation into the case.
