Tot tossed from Indian train

NEW DELHI: Indian police are investigating the death of a 2-year-old child allegedly thrown from a moving train after an argument between passengers.

Four men tried to forcibly share a berth already occupied by the victim Nisha, her father Ram Kishore and mother Phool Kumari, who resisted the attempt, said police official Nirmal Singh.

None of the passengers intervened when they got violent and started assaulting the parents.

"In a fit of rage, [the four men] picked up the two-year-old girl and threw her out of the open door, killing her instantly," Singh said.
