Hyderabad: Man ‘injects’ passengers on train, beaten up

Many a time, he threatened his wife and daughter with murder
Hyderabad: Some passengers on the Balharshah-Secunderabad Bhagyanagar Express have alleged that a fellow passenger tried to attack them with a syringe. They saw the man carrying an injection bottle and syringes and handed him over to Railway police after roughing him up. It turned out that the man was not in his proper senses.
Police said T Ravi Kumar was ‘mentally disturbed’ and gave different identities of himself. He even claimed he was an IPS officer. Family members later said that he was addicted to alcohol and was behaving in abnormal ways for the past three months. He had prepared a fake police identity card and even threatened people with a knife to extort money for alcohol.
Ravi Kumar is a native of Kottapalli near Ghanpur station of Warangal district. He is married for more than ten years and has a five-year-old daughter. He was residing at Ashoknagar near Uppal depot and working at a roadside eatery. “For the past three months, he started behaving in an abnormal manner and carried a knife with him, which he used to threaten his family members and others to extort money for alcohol.
Many a time, he threatened his wife and daughter with murder. The two got scared and left him. This made him more desperate, more violent, and he stared threatening his brothers and their family members,” GRP and police sources said. Police registered a case under section 27 of Mental Health Act and shifted him to the Institute of Mental health at Erragadda.
