MUMBAI - Railway administration always strives for the safety of railway passengers. Passengers are also made aware of this by making various announcements. However, many times railway passengers ignore these instructions and put their lives at risk. A video of one such incident has gone viral on social media.

A similar accident has also come to light in Mumbai's Malad railway station. Two youths were standing on platform three of Mumbai's Malad railway station to wash their lunch box when the accident took place when they were hit by a sudden fast local. In this accident, a seventeen year old youth has died on the spot. The name of the youth who died in the accident is Mayank Anil Sharma (17 years). He is a resident of Malad Malvani.

According to the information received, on June 17, at 3:30 pm, two youths sat on the railing on platform no. 3 and ate together. After this, they stood on the platform to wash their lunch box and hands. But suddenly an air-conditioned fast local towards Churchgate towards Borivali arrived.

However, one of the two youths did not realize that the local had come and hit him hard and the local went ahead. The young man was thrown far across the platform by a heavy landing impact. The blow given by the local started bleeding profusely from his ear.

The on duty station master instructed police constable Rathod to take him to Shatabdi Hospital Kandivali for further treatment. With the help of Hamal and his friend, he was taken to Shatabdi Hospital where doctors declared him dead before admitting him.
