Photographs showed bleeding Junaid being cradled by his brother and the railway compartment where the incident occurred drenched in blood. When they resisted, they were beaten up. The other two are in a hospital in Palwal.
One among the survivors, Mohsin, said that his cousins tried pulling the emergency chain, but their distress call went in vain as the train did not stop.
