The incident was reported from Kahalgaon railway station in Bihar’s Bhagalpur district. In the video of the incident, the man in question can be seen lying flat on his stomach without moving an inch as a goods train thuds and speeds on top of him. As if it’s an everyday thing for the man, he simply stands up, grabs his bag, and speed-walks away from the track when the train passed away.
As per locals quoted by reports, the man was trying to cross the railway track to reach another platform and catch the train. A goods train was stationary on the track. The man assumed that the train is not going to move and simply started crossing the railway tracks. Right at that moment, the goods train started rolling on the tracks and picked up its speed.
