19-year-old Rakesh was killed in Telangana in Secunderabad yesterday when police opened fire on a train that set fire to trains during a protest against a new recruiting system.
More than a dozen were injured.
The Prime Minister expressed shock and sadness at the death of Rakesh, a Warangal, who was shot dead by railway police, his office said.
The Prime Minister's Office has also announced that financial assistance of ₹ 25 lakhs will be paid to the man's family and one of his family members will get a government job.
