Cops unable to trace 5th victim
The railway police is looking for a victim, who underwent treatment for a leg fracture at a railway clinic and then left before his statement could be recorded in Thursday’s incident. The police is hoping to get the exact sequence of events from the victim, in order to get a clearer picture.
According to the railway police, the man, identified only as Kanhaiyalal Yadav, reached an emergency first aid centre set up on platform six of the Central Railway section at Dadar station, soon after the accident occurred. He was diagnosed with a fracture to his right leg, provided necessary medical aid and was advised to get himself admitted to a hospital. The man then left, leaving his name, address and cellphone number at the register.
“The residential address only mentions a road in Chunabhatti and is too vague. The cellphone number is switched off, effectively ruling out any way to trace the man easily. We are now making inquiries with hospitals, both government as well as private, to check if anyone with a fracture to his right leg has been admitted since Thursday,” said a railway police officer.
The police, however, is worried that the man might decide to stay at home and get treated by a visiting physician, which would make it next to impossible to trace him.
On Thursday, two commuters fell out of a crowded local train between Sion and Matunga stations and two others were injured. Yadav was the fifth victim.
