Mumbai: The proverb "what goes around, comes around" proved true when a 37-year-old man was run over by a train after he allegedly attempted to strangle his girlfriend near railway tracks at Matunga Road in Mumbai.

However, the woman survived unscathed in the incident. Government Railway Police (GRP) has filed a case of accidental death.

According to a report in The Times of India, the man was on a holiday with his paramour when the incident took place.

The deceased, a Dhule resident, came in contact with the woman when she approached him for a loan. The report further suggested that the woman came close to the victim and did not return the money. The woman has grown-up kids.

The couple arrived in Mumbai on a holiday on January 18 from Dhule. The deceased later informed the woman that he will send her home alone on a train.

How the incident happened

The two boarded the train to Bandra and got down at Matunga Road. The man told his paramour that they will have to walk on foot along the railway tracks to catch a train to Dhule from Dadar Terminus. It was the woman's first visit to Mumbai and she did not suspect any foul play.

After reaching an isolated stretch along the railway tracks, the man attempted to strangle the woman from behind in a shocking move.

The woman struggled to free herself from his stranglehold. When the man felt that she gave up, he took her belongings and ran across the tracks without noticing an incoming train and was mowed down. Later, the woman got up and ran towards the platform and narrated her ordeal to the police after she was taken to the GRP post.

Police absolve woman

According to the police, the railway driver confirmed that the man got mowed down accidentally by the train. The man's body was later sent for medical examination.

Meanwhile, the family of the man has demanded a probe alleging woman's involvement in his death. Police say they have verified CCTV footages from all angles and did not find anything suspicious against the woman.
