Three young men were knocked down and killed by an express train while making a social media reel on a railway bridge in West Bengal’s Murshidabad district on Wednesday, an official said.

Two other companions of them jumped into a river below at the last moment and saved themselves.

“The three young men were run over by 13053 Howrah-Radhikapur Kulik Express when they were making social media reels standing on tracks on the railway bridge between Sujnipara and Ahiron stations in Azimganj-New Farakka section of Malda division,” the ER official said.

The ER cautioned that everyone should stay away from railway tracks as a train may come at any moment and a few moments of distraction may prove fatal.

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).
