Father shot dead in train, son gets a Railways job
http://www.indianexpress.com/news/Father-shot-dead-in-train--son-gets-a-Railways-job/560465His father was shot dead while accompanying him for a job interview aboard
the Lucknow-bound Amritsar Mail. Ironically a day later, Chandan Gupta,
son of late Shivparasad Gupta looks all set to get a coveted Railways job
as compensation for his father’s death.
Union Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee has announced an ex-gratia of Rs 2 lakh
for the family of the deceased and a job for a member of his family.
------------------------
Shivparasad and Chandan were travelling from Howrah to Lucknow on Amritsar Mail
when around 12 dacoits boarded the train at Shimultolla near Jhanjha station
and started looting passengers.

It took a while but I gathered the train trip they were on was about 600 miles.
