Panic spread through Ahmedabad’s Narampura locality after two lifeless bodies were recovered from beside the railway line on Tuesday, suspected victims of a speeding train. Discovered at 11 AM near Adarsh Nagar outpost, the grisly find has investigators working overtime.
Prompt reports from passersby brought Vadaj police and GRP to the site, where they confirmed the men had likely been struck overnight. The scene bore marks of a high-impact collision.
Satyajit Shrimati, 50, a local from Narampura, is one confirmed casualty. The other, estimated at 32 years, awaits identification amid active searches through local records and community outreach.
Inspector Vimal Dhangar emphasized a multi-angle probe: ‘It seems to have happened at night. We’re not discounting suicide, mishap, or external factors—postmortem will tell.’
Separate FIRs for sudden deaths have been filed, with bodies dispatched for autopsy. Surveillance videos and potential witnesses are being pursued rigorously.
This comes soon after a deadly Vande Bharat incident in Rajkot, highlighting persistent vulnerabilities at unmanned crossings and crowded tracks. Rail safety advocates demand immediate interventions: elevated walkways, barriers, and awareness drives.
While the community grapples with sorrow, officials promise answers once reports are in, stressing prevention as the path forward against such avoidable tragedies.
