9-Month-Old Falls From Seemanchal Express, Body Found 23 Hours Later

A nine-month-old boy tragically died after falling from the emergency window of the moving Seemanchal Express train while travelling with his parents from Delhi to Bihar. The incident occurred near Faizullahpur station in Uttar Pradesh.

The infant was with his mother, Kajal, who was feeding him, when he slipped from her lap and fell through the window. His father, Mohan Kumar, had gone to the restroom at the time of the incident.

When Mohan returned and found his son missing, he searched the coach but could not locate him. He then tried to pull the emergency chain to stop the train, but passengers and escorts allegedly prevented him from doing so, citing the forested area along the railway track.

The couple continued their journey to Prayagraj, where they informed the Government Railway Police (GRP) about the incident. A joint team of GRP and Railway Protection Force (RPF) officials launched a search operation along the railway tracks.

The search operation continued through the night, with civil police joining in later. The infant's body was finally found at around 3:30 pm on Saturday in bushes near the railway track at Faizullahpur station.

According to police officials, the search was difficult due to dense vegetation and waterlogging in the area. The investigation indicated that the child had been with his mother before slipping backwards and falling through the emergency window.

The infant had suffered a head injury, and the police are conducting further investigations into the incident. The tragedy has left the parents, Mohan and Kajal, in a state of shock and grief.

The incident highlights the importance of ensuring safety measures are in place, especially when travelling with infants. It also raises questions about the response of passengers and railway staff in emergency situations.

The Seemanchal Express train was travelling from Anand Vihar in Delhi to Bihar's Begusarai district, and the family was occupying berths 61 and 64 in the S-1 coach.

The police are still investigating the incident and are speaking to witnesses and passengers who were on the train at the time of the tragedy.

The incident is a tragic reminder of the importance of being vigilant and taking necessary precautions when travelling, especially with young children.

In this case, the parents' worst nightmare came true, and they are now left to deal with the aftermath of the tragedy. The incident has sent shockwaves through the community, and people are expressing their condolences to the grieving family.

As the investigation continues, it is hoped that measures will be taken to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future.

The tragedy has also raised questions about the safety of train travel, particularly for families with young children. It is essential for railway authorities to review their safety protocols and ensure that adequate measures are in place to prevent such incidents.
