Kasargod: A Kasargod resident who was on way home town in a train from Mumbai was reportedly drugged and robbed of his cash and valuables by a stranger.

The victim Arun of Palakkad has been hospitalised. Arun who had been to Mumbai in search of a job recently was returning hometown after he could not find a suitable job. He was travelling in the Hapa Express when a Hindi speaking passenger befriended him and later offered him biscuits.

Arun who ate that biscuit fell unconscious and woke up only when the train reached Kasargod. It was then that he realised that his gold chain and the Rs 2000 cash and ATM card which were in his purse were stolen.

After Arun informed the railway police about his plight the cops admitted him to Kasargod General Hospital.
