“Pratik Sudhakar Bagave was walking towards Dombivli railway station from Dombivli east. He failed to see a goods train approaching. He sustained minor injuries on his forehead,” said S Pawar, senior police inspector, Dombivli Government Railway Police.

Bagave, a college student, lives at Umesh Nagar in Dombivli.

“We have been continuously appealing to commuters not to take a short-cut by crossing tracks and risking their lives. People should take this seriously and use foot overbridges,” said Pawar.
