An alleged member of a drugging-and-robbery gang, known locally as the “Agyan Party”, lost consciousness himself after being forced to drink the very juice he had used to incapacitate two female passengers on a train.
The incident took place on Saturday aboard the Khulna-bound Chilahati Express, in the ‘Jha’ coach.
The victims, mother and daughter Koushila Roy (52) of Dinajpur’sBochaganjupazila and her daughter Bithi Rani (28) of Thakurgaonfell unconscious after consuming juice offered by fellow passenger Ful Mia (55) of Rangpur’s Mithapukurupazila.
Moments later, their earrings and nose pin were removed.
A retired army man, Abdur Rahim, seated nearby, grew suspicious and confronted Ful Mia.
Passengers then compelled him to drink from the same juice bottle he had offered the women. Within minutes, he too collapsed, confirming his involvement.
Railway police rescued the two victims along with the suspect and admitted them to Syedpur Railway Hospital. By 3:30 pm, the women had regained consciousness, while Ful Mia remained unconscious.
Syedpur Railway Police Officer-in-Charge Mahmud-un-Nabi confirmed the incident, saying that a case has been filed by Koushila’s son, Rabindranath Roy.
“Ful Mia is already facing several cases at different railway police stations. Further legal action will be taken once he regains consciousness,” the OC said.
