Three people were knocked down by the Koyna Express train on Sunday afternoon, making this the third such incident in the past seven days. Two other unidentified bodies were found near the Pimpri railway station earlier this week.
Of the three, one was a woman of around 30 years of age, while the others were children - a girl and a boy - both between 7-9 years of age, according to the railway police. The incident happened when the woman and the two children were crossing the railway track. The three had alighted from a local train which was heading to Lonavla from Pune, according to the people on the spot. The three could not anticipate the arrival of the oncoming train and were hit by the train which arrived at a high speed.

Several other incidents were recorded in October as well. A Nigerian national was found dead along the railway tracks. Controversy ensued when the body was burnt for cremation by police sub-inspector (PSI) NT Ovhal of the railway police on October 23 without informing the foreign registration office (FRO) or the African nationals’ association in India. An internal inquiry was ordered against PSI Ovhal for the unceremonious cremation.
