A 32-year-old man died after allegedly falling from a moving train on the Bathinda-Ferozepur railway line. The deceased has been identified as Gursewak Singh, a resident of Mansa, who worked as a mason.
According to information, no railway ticket was recovered from the deceased during the search at the spot. As a result, the police have so far been unable to establish which train he was travelling on or his intended destination.
Sandeep Singh of Sahara Jan Sewa said the organisation's control room received information about a man falling from a moving train. Following the alert, a team rushed to the spot but found that the man had already succumbed to his injuries. The Government Railway Police (GRP) was subsequently informed about the incident.
GRP Station Officer ASI Gurpal Singh said the police team reached the location, inspected the scene and questioned people in the surrounding area.
During the investigation, the police contacted the deceased's sister, who revealed that Gursewak Singh lived alone in Mansa and earned his livelihood as a mason. She also informed the police that she had spoken to him over the phone just two days ago, when he had said that he was in Bathinda for work.
The police have shifted the body to the mortuary of the Civil Hospital. Further legal proceedings will be initiated after the family members arrive and their statements are recorded. The circumstances surrounding the incident are being investigated.
