Kerala: UAPA Invoked Against Shahrukh Saifi Accused Of Setting People On Fire In Train Near Kozhikode

The Kerala Police Special Investigation Team (SIT) has invoked the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) against Shahrukh Saifi, who has been arrested for throwing an inflammable liquid at passengers and setting them on fire in a train near Kozhikode.

While nine people had sustained burn injuries, three bodies were discovered on the railway tracks. It is believed that they had jumped off the train in order to save themselves.

The development comes a couple of days before his custody is to end. Saifi has already been charged with murder under the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
