NAGERCOIL A 73-year-old man died after accidentally falling from a moving train at Kuzhithurai West railway station on Thursday. According to police, the deceased was identified as Mohanan Nair, 73, from Kollam. He was travelling with his two brothers on the Kollam-Kanniyakumari MEMU express to visit his family temple at Mamoottukadai near Marthandam.
Instead of getting down at Kuzhithurai railway station, he mistook Kuzhithurai West, the previous station before Kuzhithurai as his destination and attempted to alight from the moving train. In the process, he fell onto the tracks and died on the spot. Railway police recovered the body and sent it to Kanniyakumari Government Medical College Hospital in Asaripallam for postmortem examination.
Further investigation is on.
