Ahmedabad: In a shocking incident that has emerged in Ahmedabad, a man accused of raping and murdering a 19-year-old woman in Gujarat has been arrested, revealing shocking details of at least four murders, mostly on trains, across multiple states in less than a month. The accused, a resident of Haryana’s Rohtak, reportedly confessed to crimes including robbery and murder on trains.

The accused, identified as Rahul Karamveer Jat (31), was arrested from Vapi Railway Station in Gujarat’s Valsad district on November 24, following an extensive search involving police units from various states and scanning of at least 2,000 CCTV cameras from various Gujarat districts.
