The train had started at 4.30 pm from Mumbai. People pretending to be co passengers sitting beside Clifford on reserved seat offered biscuits to him between 9.30 pm and 11.30 pm. As meal did not arrive despite ordering for it, Clifford ate the biscuits. He got intoxicated immediately after that and slept.
