MUMBAI: An anti-terrorism police officer probing last month's blasts in Mumbai was found dead on railway tracks in the western Indian city, police said on Tuesday. The body of assistant police commissioner Vinod Bhatt was recovered from the tracks near the suburbs of Dadar.

A police spokesman said the detective was hit by a speeding train on Monday.
I think I saw that on an old Cary Grant movie last year...
The spokesman ruled out foul play but did not say why Bhatt was on the busy line of a suburban train network that carries millions of commuters everyday. Bhatt, who joined the Mumbai police force in 1974, was part of an anti-terrorism squad formed following the attacks on seven Mumbai trains which left 183 people dead and nearly 900 injured on July 11.

#1  He reportedly sent his driver home, telling him he would catch the train.
Perhaps he was to meet a contact there?
