A 25-year-old man fell off a fast local train between Dombivli and Diva stations, and died on Wednesday, the government railway police (GRP) said.
As per the preliminary investigation, the man was travelling on a CSMT-bound suburban train in the morning. He was probably standing on a footboard when his head hit a pole along the railway track, the GRP said.
He fell on the fast track near Mhatardeshwar temple. The man, who is yet to be identified, was rushed to a nearby hospital where doctors declared him brought dead.
