MUMBAI: A young gym instructor from Satara also died at the same station, just a few hours after Devi Prasad Mishra was crushed to death. Mahesh Nikam was run over by the same train from which he had jumped off as it slowed down at
Kalyan station on Saturday morning.
The 21-year-old youth was headed for Kalyan to meet his fiancé . He was travelling on Pragati Express, which does not stop at Kalyan.
Around 10.30am, as the train pulled into the station, Nikam decided to alight there, instead of travelling all the way to Dadar and back, the police said.
As he jumped off the wrong side, he lost his balance, fell onto the track and the express ran him over, the police said. Kalyan GRP senior inspector Arun Jagtap said, "Nikam had assumed that he would be able to jump onto the platform, but he fell on the track."
