Man run over by train at Patharkandi

A 28-year-old man was crushed under the wheels of a train at Kanaibazar under the jurisdiction of Patharkandi police station in Karimganj district on Saturday.

The deceased Abu Bakkar, son of late Jalal Uddin, was a resident of Kartiktilla, a nearby village.

According to sources, parts of Abu’s body were spotted by local residents around 5:10am on Saturday morning on and around a track at Kanaibazar, around 80km from Silchar. He was identified by few onlookers, sources said.

Railway protection force officials from Baraigram and Badarpur reached the spot after which the body parts were recovered and sent to Karimganj civil hospital for post-mortem. The body was later handed over to his family.

Locals speculated that Abu was perhaps run over by a goods train early in the morning. Few residents, however, suspected “foul play” in the incident.

Police are investigating to extract more details about the incident, as per last available reports.
