A 30-year-old unidentified youth went under the wheels of a Rajshahi-bound train at around 8:00am at Peyarabagh in Moghbazar. The victim, wearing three-quarter pant and shirt, was coming from Wireless Gate walking along the rail line. The train hit him from behind, said Emdadul Haq, assistant sub-inspector of Government Railway Police (GRP), Kamalapur. Another unknown victim, aged around 50, was crossing the trail track at Gulbagh in Malibagh at about 8:30am when two trains from the opposite directions came to the spot. Having been panicky, he ran fast and the Kamalapur-bound train hit him, killing him instantly, said the GRP police.
