Five passengers including a woman were crushed under the wheels of another train when they were forced out of the train they were traveling on by military men in Shikohabad in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh early Sunday morning. Reports said the five passengers were traveling in an unreserved, general compartment of the Farkka Express when four soldiers forced them out of the train and onto the railway line while the train was stationary in a station. A train coming from the opposite direction crushed the five passengers in the darkness. The four accused soldiers were detained by the local police. A northern railway spokesman, D. P. S. Sandhu said the incident was being looked into. In a similar case a passenger lost his life when he was thrown out of the running Brahmaputra Express last year by army personnel.
