Mira Road resident Shabbir Khan has given the police ample proof of his 13-year-old son Mohammed's murder on the railway tracks near their home, and yet, the Vasai Road railway police haven't registered an FIR till date. They had recorded Khan's detailed statement in connection with the murder near Nalasopara station. When contacted, the senior police inspector told mid-day the investigation is on.

mid-day had reported on October 23 how Khan, a driver, had left his job in Dubai and conducted his own inquiry into his son's death. After speaking to the boy's friends and others, Khan had found out that Mohammed had been pushed under a train by four notorious youngsters trying to snatch away his mobile phone. Khan had recorded statements of the four and handed those over to the railway commissioner in August 2017, giving a push to the railway cops in their investigation.
