DIMAPUR — A 27-year-old man from Nagaland died on a train journey from Jaipur, Rajasthan, to Nagaland on October 27, raising concerns among his family about the circumstances surrounding his death.
According to the Officer in Charge of the Malda Town Government Railway Police (GRP) station, the deceased, identified as Mhonchumo D Ezung, was reported to be vomiting before the train reached Malda station on Saturday morning.
While passengers helped Ezung disembark the train, a railway doctor who examined him declared him dead, the officer said.
Ezung’s body was sent for a post-mortem examination at the Malda Railway Hospital, and then handed over to his relatives. The GRP official stated that the post-mortem report is expected to take at least ten days.
A report by Hornbill TV indicated that Ezung had boarded a train from Jaipur on October 23, arriving in Delhi on October 24, where he transferred to another train bound for Nagaland. On October 27, around 8 am, Ezung’s younger brother received a call from the Malda Town GRP informing him of his brother’s death, initially attributing it to bleeding.
However, family members who viewed the body expressed doubts that bleeding was the sole cause of death. They reported that Ezung’s wallet and money were missing, with only his mobile phone, charger, and tuberculosis medication found on his person.
The family also told the news channel that Ezung had been hospitalised for a month before being discharged and that his mother had spoken to him on the phone around 9 pm on October 26.
