Govind Shetty, 50, a Bengaluru-based hotel worker, was thrown out of the Bengaluru-Nanded Express at Thimmamcherla village just before the train was to reach Guntakal at 6.30 a.m. on Sunday.
The victim was travelling to Mantralayam from Bengaluru. Three persons, in their early thirties, boarded the train at Hindupur and befriended Mr. Govind.
At Thimmamcherla, they called him to the door, telling him that the train was approaching Guntakal. Then they snatched his purse and travelling bag, and pushed him out of the moving train.
Mr. Shetty suffered minor head injuries, and has been admitted to the Guntakal Government Hospital.
He is out of danger, Guntakal Government Railway Police Inspector G. Gurunath Babu told The Hindu .
The GRP has alerted the Raichur and Wadi stations to look out for the youths. They are also reviewing the CCTV footage that was recorded at the Guntakal station.
