A 54-year-old woman died after being run over by the Mumbai-bound semi high-speed Vande Bharat Express train near Anand railway station in Gujarat on Tuesday, Railway Police said.
The victim, identified as Beatrice Archibald Peter, was crossing the track when the accident took place at 4.37 p.m., said an official here.
Peter, a resident of Ahmedabad, was apparently visiting a relative in Anand, he added.
The train was on its way to Mumbai Central from Gandhinagar Capital station.
It does not have a halt at Anand.
Further investigation was underway, the official said.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had on September 30 flagged off the inaugural run of the train.
Senior BJP leader and former Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan on Saturday (November 23, 2024) said the landslide victory of the Mahayuti alliance in the Maharashtra Assembly election was historic, and that it reflected people’s mindset across the country. She added that the DMK would be unseated from power in the 2026 Assembly election in Tamil Nadu and that the BJP would be the reason for it.
