The mishap took place when the four victims - two on a scooter and three on a rickshaw - were crossing the track and failed to see the approaching train last night. Two other persons were injured and have been hospitalised.

The bodies have been sent for postmortem.

Though the railway crossing at Kotgoan remains closed due to heavy rail traffic, many people use it as a shortcut.
