Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): A 76-year-old man who had left home for an evening walk on Thursday died after he was taking a stroll near the railway tracks and a train passed past him at a high speed.

He was hit by the strong wind and fell unconscious on the boulders kept there, the police said. The police added that he had been rushed to hospital where he died while undergoing treatment on Thursday late night.

Aishbag police station house officer (SHO) Ashish Sapre said deceased Khurshid Mohammad (76) was a resident of Aishbag. His son-in-law Sheikh Shafiq told the cops that he had been undergoing treatment.
