Lucknow: In a shocking
incident, an elderly woman was killed and her husband wounded when
the couple was thrown out of a moving train by government railway
police (GRP) personnel for boarding the wrong train, police said
Wednesday.
The incident occurred around 10 a.m. at Muzaffarnagar, when the
elderly couple, by mistake, boarded the Shatabdi Express.
Rajeshwar Tyagi and his wife Santosh were both above 70 years old.
Sub-inspector Ram Chandar and constable Subhash of the GRP asked
the couple where they were headed. The couple responded that they
were on their way to Saharanpur, only to be told that they were on
the Shatabdi Express, which does not halt at Saharanpur.
The cops asked the elderly couple to deboard, something, they
pleaded, they could not do as the train had gathered speed by
then.
Incensed, the policemen opened the door of the compartment and
pushed the old couple out.
The woman was hit by a train moving on a parallel track and died
instantly, while the man received minor injuries on the fall.
A case against the two GRP policemen was registered at the
Muzaffarnagar railway station.
"We have sent the body of the deceased woman for autopsy. Based on
the statement of Rajeshwar Tyagi, we have lodged a case against
the two policemen," a GRP official told IANS.
