The last thing this retired Navy officer travelling on a Mumbai-bound train remembers before he fell asleep, is sharing some food with his co-passengers — two Army men and an Air Force officer. He then woke up in a hospital, robbed of his money and his valuables. The 54-year-old was unconscious for nearly 24 hours and was found near railway tracks in Ghatkopar.
