Gurugram, February 15

Four youths were killed here this evening after being hit by a train when they were trying to take selfies on the railway tracks.

The mishap took place near the under-construction railway over bridge (ROB) just before the Basai railway station. The GRP reached the spot and took the bodies in its custody. The four hit by the train were identified as Sameer (19), Mohammad Anas (20), Yusuf alias Bhola (21) and Yuvraj Gogia (18), residents of Devilal Colony.

The tragedy happened at around 5 pm. The Jan Shatabdi Express, going from Delhi’s Sarai Rohilla to Ajmer, Rajasthan, was moving from the Gurgaon railway station towards Basai. The youths started taking selfies when the train hit them. All four died on the spot. “The mobiles of the victims have been seized,” said Pawan Kumar, in charge, GRP police station, Gurugram. —

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
