Three persons onboard separate Shramik Special trains lost their lives due to various ailment, officials said here on Saturday.
“Family members of the deceased said all were suffering from serious ailment. The travel history of all the three deceased passengers was taken,” Kanpur District Magistrate Brahma Deo Ram Tiwari said.
Giving details about the deceased, he said Naichinalyu Disang (23), a resident of Nagaland, was going from Delhi to Dimapur.
“She was suffering from liver ailments,” Tiwari said. As she coughed and vomited in the train, other passengers got terrified, he added.
The district magistrate said the body reached Kanpur Central Station at around 10.00 am.
