Hyderabad: At least ten persons were run over by a train in Andhra Pradesh on Saturday after they pulled a chain and got down from another train following rumours of a fire.
The horrific mishap occurred Saturday evening near Gotlam close to Vizianagaram town in north coastal Andhra, 700 km from here.
The toll may go up as it was pitch dark at the time of the mishap, making rescue work difficult.
Police said the incident occurred when some passengers of the Alappuzha-Dhanbad Express pulled chain and got down after rumours of the train catching fire.
