The Government Railway Police in Maharashtra's Thane district have registered a case against one individual and unspecified others for abetting the suicide of a man, an official said on Wednesday.

One Roshan Patel of Palghar district was run over by a goods train going towards JNPT in Thane district on September 24, following which police launched a probe, he said.

GRP senior inspector Kiran Undre of Dombivili railway police station said that days before his death, Patel was thrashed in his locality by some people who accused him of stalking a girl. Since then, he had been depressed, the official said.

Police have booked one Shiva of Chinchoti in Palghar district and some other unidentified persons for pushing Patel to take the extreme step, he added.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
