Two brothers were killed after a train rammed into a rickshaw at an unmanned railway crossing in the Jia Bagga area on Monday.
The train’s engine and two bogies derailed as the driver applied emergency brakes in a bid to save the brothers. The deceased were identified as Rizwan Mustafa, 22, and Usman Mustafa, 20.
A police team reached the site and shifted the bodies to a morgue for autopsy.
They also collected forensic evidence from crime scene and recorded statements of three eyewitnesses.
