Severed Limb and Critical Injuries: Man Battles for Life After Late-Night Fall from Express Train in Sonbhadra

According to local police officials, the incident occurred around 2:00 AM between the Phulwar and Jorukhad railway stations within the Wyndhamganj police station jurisdiction. Preliminary investigations suggest that Alam had approached the train’s exit seeking relief from the heat or to quench his thirst when he lost his balance. The sudden lurch of the express train sent him plummeting onto the tracks, where his left arm was caught and subsequently crushed under the weight of the passing carriages.

The gravity of the situation was compounded by the timing of the fall. Trapped in the darkness and suffering from excruciating pain and significant blood loss, Alam lay undiscovered for several hours. It was only at daybreak that local residents spotted his mangled form near the tracks and immediately alerted emergency services and the police.

First responders provided stabilize-and-transport care at the scene, but given the catastrophic nature of his limb injury and overall physical trauma, he was rushed to a nearby facility before being referred to the District Hospital for specialized surgical intervention. While administrative officials are monitoring his recovery, the incident serves as a grim reminder of the persistent safety hazards associated with open vestibules and the inherent risks of navigating train exits while in motion. As the victim undergoes intensive medical treatment, the local community remains shaken by the brutal reality of the midnight mishap.
