BURDWAN: It is a tale of two families one of a police constable and the other of an aspiring policeman.
They didn't know each other. Both boarded the train from Sahebganj station. The accident plunged both their families in gloom, despite searching non-stop, neither of the two bodies have been located.
Lalan Kumar Shaw (27) was travelling in the general compartment of Vananchal Express with his colleague, Mukesh Yadav, both constables of Jharkhand Armed Police posted at Lalmatia PS in Bokaro.

Mukesh has been referred to SSKM Hospital from Burdwan on Monday night and is still unconscious. But Lalan has not been traced. Neither has Bishnu Kumar Ghosh of Sahebganj, who was going to Ranchi to fill up the entrance form personally after passing the written examination of Jharkhand Police.
Rishi Ghosh, father of Bishnu, said that he was searching at every hospital for his elder son but could find no trace him. "I am a milkman and had great dreams that my elder son would get a government job and help me run the five-member household," he said. He requested state civil defence minister Srikumar Mukherjee to trace his son. Mukherjee directed Birbhum DM Soumitra Mohan over phone to try and trace the youth. When no news came up, Rishi decided to go to Kolkata and search for his son in hospitals there.
Akhilesh Shaw, brother of Lalan said that he has got the police job four years ago and had a seven-month-old baby. "He came to our house in Balia of Munger on a month's leave and was going to join duty along with another colleague. We always feared for his life due to the Maoist threat. We never thought he could have been in such a horrible train accident," he added.
"We have searched at Sainthia, Suri and Burdwan. I don't know where to go next," said wife Parbati. She was carrying the baby in her lap. They also went through the photographs of the victims pasted on hospital notice boards.
