Three homebound passengers of Silk City Express died and four others were injured after falling from the roof of the speedy train at Dewbhog under Mirzapur upazila in Tangail Friday night.
‘The victims fell on the ground from roof of the train after hitting an overhead electric cable at about 7:30pm,’ Golam Mostafa, subinspector of the Mirzapur police station, told New Age.
Two of them died on the spot while another died at Mirapur Kumudini Medical College Hospital.
Two of the deceased were identified as Al Mamun of Pabna and Jahrul of Chapainawabganj.
One of the injured said they, along with a huge number of people, climbed to the roof of the Rajshahi-bound train which left the
Kamlapur railway station Friday afternoon.
He said they opted for the risky train journey as the exorbitant bus fare was beyond their capacity and, what is more, the bus tickets were not available.
In another incident, two passengers were injured after they had fallen from the roof of a Dinajpur-bound train at the same place at Dewbhog.
They were admitted to the local hospital, but their identity could not be ascertained immediately.
