A 20-year-old student died in Bhopal after a train hit him when he was sitting on a railway track with his headphones while being engrossed with his mobile phone, police said.
The incident occurred when the victim, Manraj Tomar, a BBA student, and his friend were sitting on parallel railway tracks watching something on their mobiles. Tomar had worn his headphones and was scrolling something on his phone, according to police.
Moments later, a train approached Tomar even though he was unable to hear anything as he was busy with his phone with his headphones plugged in. Eventually, the train hits him, killing him on the spot.
Tomar was the only child of his parents and his body was handed over to them following a post-mortem examination, police said.
He was fond of bodybuilding and making reels.
