A tragic train accident took place on the Gharsisar railway track in Bikaner on Sunday at around 1:30 PM. Three people died after being hit by a train during a couple's dispute, while one youth was seriously injured.
In this incident that occurred within the Jai Narayan Vyas Colony police station area, a dispute broke out between a husband and wife over some matter. During the argument, the two fought and reached the railway track. In an effort to remove them from the tracks and save them, two other youths also reached the track. Meanwhile, a speeding train arrived and all four were run over.
Severity of the accident
The impact was so severe that the woman's body was torn to pieces. The police and administration, who reached the spot, gathered the pieces of the woman's body in a bundle and took them to the hospital. The husband and the other two youths were flung far away upon being hit by the train, of whom two died.
Immediately after the incident, the train remained stationed at the spot for a long time. Upon receiving information about the accident, GRP and local police teams along with Ward-30 Councilor Abdul Sattar reached the spot.
Identification work underway
According to SHO Devendra Singh, in the preliminary investigation, one deceased has been identified as Sanjit Mochi (a resident of Darbhanga, Bihar). Efforts are on to identify the deceased woman, her husband, and the seriously injured youth. The injured youth was immediately admitted to the hospital for treatment.
The danger of being on railway tracks
Railway tracks are meant exclusively for the operation of trains. Walking, sitting, or stopping on them for any reason is extremely hazardous. Often people fail to accurately estimate the distance or speed of a train, making it difficult to reach a safe place when the train approaches suddenly.
It is essential to take care of one's own safety, especially when trying to save someone on railway tracks. In such situations, it can be important to immediately inform railway employees or emergency services. Running without assessing the situation can pose a grave danger to the rescuer as well.
