Grandfather and Toddler Killed by Trains Near Mirzamurad Tracks

Mirzamurad police say Dulchand Rajbhar, 56, of Lachhapur village and his three-year-old grandson were killed on Tuesday evening after being struck by trains while walking along the railway track on their way home from a nazar ritual. Station house officer Gopalji Kushwaha said both bodies were taken into custody and sent for postmortem.

According to the police account, Dulchand left home around 7 pm with the child to have the boy's nazar removed. After the ritual they were returning when waterlogged paths pushed them onto the railway alignment. Trains moving between Prayagraj and Varanasi struck them. Both died at the spot.

The child, about three years old, was the only son of Jitendra Rajbhar of Parampur under Jansa police station and had been staying at his maternal grandparents' home in Lachhapur with his mother for about a month. Police have completed the immediate legal steps at the scene. Cause and sequence details beyond the track strike remain subject to investigation and postmortem findings.

Walking the rails to avoid flooded village paths is a familiar shortcut in low-lying belts after rain. It is also one of the most dangerous choices a family can make, especially with a small child. Tuesday's deaths sit in that pattern without needing dramatic language. Two generations of one family were lost on the same stretch within moments.

Lachhapur and Parampur were left in mourning once the news reached the homes. Officers treated the case as a railway accident file rather than a crime of intent. Still, every unnatural death on the track requires documentation, postmortem and a clear police narrative for the railway and the courts.

This desk is not publishing a sensational reconstruction of the impact. The facts on record are the grandfather's name and age, the child's age and family link, the nazar visit, the waterlogged detour onto the track, the Prayagraj-Varanasi train movements, the deaths at the spot, and SHO Kushwaha's confirmation of postmortem.

For other families in the Mirzamurad-Jansa belt, the practical warning writes itself. Flooded lanes are miserable; live tracks are worse. Level crossings and longer dry routes exist for a reason when the monsoon has left standing water across the shortcut.

Until postmortem reports return and any railway inquiry notes are complete, the public account rests on Mirzamurad police: Dulchand Rajbhar and his toddler grandson dead on the tracks Tuesday evening after a ritual walk home, with legal formalities under way under SHO Gopalji Kushwaha.

Railway safety messaging after such deaths is often blunt because the pattern repeats whenever village paths flood. Adults who know the timetable still misjudge gap and speed; a toddler on the same ballast has no chance once a train is committed. Mirzamurad's file now moves through postmortem and railway intimation, not through spectacle.
