Tragic death as youngster returning home after completing studies falls from moving train
Kottayam (PTI): A 25-year-old man died on Friday after falling from a moving train bound for Thiruvananthapuram, the police said here.
The tragic incident occurred when Deepak George Varkey, returning from Pune after completing his Hotel Management course, was trying to disembark from the train at Kottayam station after retrieving his forgotten glasses, they said.
Deepak had brought out all his belongings from the train onto the platform when he realised that he forgot his glasses. He went back into the train, but by then it had started moving. While trying to get off quickly, he slipped beneath the train and died, police said.
The incident came to light only when Deepak's friends, who were waiting to receive him at Kottayam railway station, could not locate him.
They then went to the next station, Changanassery, but found no sign of him there as well and proceeded to the following Thiruvalla railway station.
Despite attempting to contact Deepak by phone, there was no response.
It was only after informing the railway police station that they came to know that Deepak had met with an accident at Kottayam railway station. The youngster hailed from Puthuppally near here.

Mudigere: 22-yr-old youngster hangs herself to death after father scolds her for not making curry
Mudigere: A 22-year-old young woman, Soujanya Poojary, who was upset over an apparently trivial issue, has allegedly committed suicide by hanging herself at home in Devavrinda village of the taluk on Saturday evening.
On Saturday morning, Soujanya’s father Natesh Poojary handed her vegetables, instructed her to prepare curry using them and went out. When he returned home in the afternoon, however, he found that his daughter had not prepared the curry and scolded her. He also told her to get curry from a neighbour’s house and again went out.
Soujanya, after being treated harshly by her father, reportedly closed the door of the house and hanged herself to death inside.
Gonibeedu Police officers, who were informed of her death, have registered a case and are investigating.
(Assistance for overcoming suicidal thoughts is available on the state’s health helpline 104, Tele-MANAS 14416.)
