A 30-year-old man in Tamil Nadu’s Tirupattur allegedly smashed the railway signal box in a fit of rage after a fight with his girlfriend, just days after one of India’s deadliest train accidents.
While assessing the railway tracks in Tirupattur on Tuesday, railway authorities discovered a damaged signal box. When the Railway Police Force arrived, they discovered Gokul drunk.
Senior RPF and GRP officials questioned Gokul, who originally denied damaging the signal box but eventually admitted doing so because he was enraged after a fight with his girlfriend.
