"Rajnish was a resident of Manpada, Dombivli. He was taken to a near by hospital, but was declared dead on arrival. His body has been sent for post-mortem, and his family has been informed about the incident. An accidental death report has also been filed," said G C Hiremath, senior police inspector, Dombivli GRP.

“This is the third such incident since last year, and yet no measures have been taken by the Central Railway,” said a citizen activist from Dombivli.
