A man has been arrested by Government Railway Police (GRP) for allegedly pushing his 16-year-old niece from a fast local train in Vasai, which resulted in her death, an official said on Tuesday.

The body was discovered on the railway tracks over the Bhayander creek on Monday.

The first lead came from a commuter who had witnessed the incident, leading to the arrest of Arjun Soni, a police inspector said.

Police arrested Soni under Section 103(1) (Murder) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and are investigating the motive behind the murder.

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).
