Tragedy Strikes at Railway Station: Mentally Unstable Man Kills Employee, Dies Under #PoorvaExpress
By BK Singh
Prayagraj: In an alarming and tragic turn of events, a mentally unstable individual unleashed a brutal and unprovoked attack on a #railway employee late Wednesday night, leaving passengers and onlookers in a state of shock and horror.
The incident occurred at platform number 7/8 of the #railwaystation around 9:30 PM, when a man believed to be #mentallyderanged emerged from the outer signal side and viciously assaulted a railway staffer sitting quietly on a bench.
The victim has been identified as Amit Kumar, a young and diligent railway employee. According to eyewitnesses and railway sources, Amit was seated alone at the far end of the platform when the attacker suddenly appeared, wielding an iron rod.
Without any warning or provocation, the man struck Amit on the skull with great force, inflicting fatal injuries. The blow was so severe that Amit collapsed instantly and lay motionless, bleeding profusely.

As panic gripped the platform, #RPF jawan #MadhavSingh rushed to the scene in an attempt to save the victim and restrain the attacker.
However, the assailant turned his fury towards the jawan and launched a murderous attack on him as well, forcing the #RPF personnel to retreat.
In a desperate bid to save his own life, Madhav Singh hurriedly boarded the #BundelkhandExpress, which happened to be stationed on a nearby platform at the time. #RailwaySecurity
Amidst the chaos, several bystanders and passengers gathered the courage to try and overpower the attacker.
But before they could reach him, the man—now increasingly violent and erratic—ran towards the railway tracks and leapt in front of the speeding #PoorvaExpress, which was arriving at the platform.
