The body of the digital communications manager of the Jan Suraaj Party (JSP) was found in a bush along the railway tracks between Jonha and Kita in Jharkhand on Tuesday afternoon – almost a full day after he went missing while travelling from Ranchi to Patna on the Jan Shatabdi Express on Monday.

RPF Ranchi Post Inspector Shishupal Kumar told The Indian Express that Devpalik Gupta was suspected to have fallen off the moving train.

Gupta, 31, a resident of Uttar Pradesh’s Kushinagar district, was travelling on the Jan Shatabdi Express (12366) with two JSP associates, Gautam Kumar and Nishant Kumar, both aged around 24.

Nishant, talking to The Indian Express, questioned the time taken in locating the body, which was found on the tracks between the first and second station on the train route.
