A woman pushed her two daughters, aged five and six, and one-year-old son before an oncoming train and jumped after them at the Mandawali railway station early on Thursday. While the woman and the two girls were crushed under the train, the boy survived after falling on railway track sleepers.
He found the woman and her two daughters lying in a pool of blood, while the boy was trying to wake them up. RPF recovered the bodies from the tracks and took them to a hospital. The boy was also taken there for a check-up.
Rakesh, who pulls a rickshaw around Mandawali railway station, told police that Kiran was suffering from a mental condition where she couldn’t tolerate the presence of the children in the house. On Wednesday night, she went missing along with the three children. He claimed that he was fast asleep at that time.
A probe is on to find out how Kiran and the children managed to reach the platform without a ticket and then jump in front of a train. Police suspect they were crushed by a freight train around midnight. The loco pilots of such trains might be questioned.
The bodies of the woman and the two girls were handed over to family members after an autopsy on Thursday evening. The boy will be discharged after he recuperates from his injuries and trauma. Kiran got married to Rakesh in 2013.
