Dharmraj informed the police that he and his family members rushed Rahul to hospital soon after they received the information but he was declared brought dead.

Dharmraj alleged that his son's attackers threatened to kill him too.
Rahul's friend Rinku, who also sustained grievous injuries but survived the attack, allegedly ended his life by jumping before a train, police said. The two men were returning from Sunped village, they said.
