In a significant development, police are escalating efforts to re-arrest three men after a court revoked their bail. The trio stands accused of assaulting a 72-year-old man on a train in Nashik, Maharashtra, under suspicion that he was transporting beef.

The court's decision came after additional charges of dacoity and hurting religious sentiments were added against the accused, identified as Akash Awhad, Nitesh Ahire, and Jayesh Mohite. The bail cancellation has led to an extensive police operation aimed at apprehending the suspects, who are reportedly evading capture.

The incident, which took place on August 28 aboard the Dhule-Mumbai CSMT Express and was widely circulated on social media, has sparked a wave of public outcry. Authorities are leaving no stone unturned in their efforts to bring the perpetrators to justice.
