PATNA: Two brothers were killed after being hit by a train amid dense fog near Barej village in the Mohania police station area of Bihar’s Kaimur district on Tuesday morning, officials said.
The accident occurred around 7 a.m. on the Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC) track between Bhabua Road and Muthani railway stations on the Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay-Gaya rail line.
The deceased were identified as Prince Kumar (24) and Rohit Kumar (22), sons of Madan Sah and residents of Barej village.
According to family members, the brothers had left home early in the morning to visit their fields located across the railway track. As farmland lies on one side of the track and the village on the other, local residents frequently cross the line to reach their agricultural land.
