NEW DELHI, Nov 30 (NNN-PTI) – Indian police, arrested a 33-year-old man for setting a train coach on fire in the northern Indian state of Uttarakhand, officials said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The man set ablaze a coach of Rishikesh-Delhi passenger train, and tore its seats, in Haridwar district, about 54 km south of Dehradun, the capital city of Uttarakhand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We arrested a man here from Majpa village, who torched a coach of a train and tore its seats,” said Manoj Kumar Katyal, a senior police official.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The man indulged in arson after feeling disillusioned, when the road transport office denied him a driving license, and bank officials were demanding him the original identity card which he was unable to get from the government office.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The train was halted at the station, when the man tore its seats and sprinkled petrol inside it to set it ablaze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Police said, timely action from the police and firefighters helped in containing the fire and prevented it from spreading to other coaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Katyal said, police registered a case against the person and ordered an investigation to check his track record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We are conducting further investigation to see if he has any criminal records,” Katyal said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
