A Jharkhand-native man caused a stir after climbing atop the stationary Guruvayur-Ernakulam Express near Pudukad railway station on Wednesday. Officials noted the man, estimated to be in his thirties and homeless, appeared to be of unsound mind. The motivation behind his actions remains unclear.
Railway authorities acted swiftly by cutting off the power supply to the overhead electric lines to prevent potential harm. With the collective efforts of locals, passengers, and police personnel, the man was safely brought down from the train.
