A 22-year-old man was mowed down by a train on Friday evening while he was chasing a snatcher who had allegedly lifted his mobile phone at a railway station in Delhi.
A 22-year-old man was mowed down by a train on Friday evening while he was chasing a snatcher who had allegedly lifted his mobile phone at a railway station in northeast Delhi, police said.
The incident was reported at the Old Delhi Railway Station police station around 4.55 pm after the Railway Protection Force (RPF) control room relayed that a person had been run over by a train at Platform 3 of Shahdara railway station.
A police team reached the spot and crime and forensic science laboratory units were called to inspect the scene, an officer said.
The deceased was identified as Rohit Kumar (22), a resident of Uttar Pradesh's Baghpat district.
Preliminary investigation revealed that Kumar's mobile phone was allegedly snatched on Platform 3. Chasing the snatcher, he failed to notice the 15035 Delhi-Kathgodam Express and came in front of the train, and was run over, police said.
The body was shifted to Aruna Asaf Ali Hospital in Delhi for preparation of the medico-legal case and preservation, the officer said.

India on Monday said it has not held bilateral talks with the United States on deploying naval vessels to secure merchant shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. The clarification came after US President Donald Trump urged countries to send warships to keep the strategic waterway open amid tensions with Iran.
