Sharing details of the incident, Fatehbad police chief Astha Modi said, 'The entire coach was empty, except for the three passengers.'

When the train pulled into the station at Tohana town in Fatehbad, the woman's husband saw the child alone, crying, the police said, adding the child then told his father what happened.

"My son was crying. He came running to me, said a man has pushed mother from the train door," the husband said.

"She called on the mobile when she was 20 km away, asking to come to the station to pick her up. Now she is no more," said the devastated husband.
