Etawah Tragedy: Newlywed Jumps Before Train in Front of Wife
A 25-year-old man ended his life by jumping before a train in Etawah, UP, following a dispute with his wife of 1.5 months.
A honeymoon period turned into a nightmare in Uttar Pradesh's Etawah district when a 25-year-old man committed suicide by jumping in front of a speeding train on Sunday night. The harrowing incident took place while his wife, married to him for only a month and a half, watched in horror.
The Fatal Sequence of Events
The incident occurred around 11:00 p.m. near Sarai Aisar village, specifically behind the Delhi Public School area. The victim, identified as Avadhesh, son of the late Ramsevak and a resident of Chhota Nagla Baba, had been staying at his aunt's residence in Dohrera Tameri village within the Jaswantnagar area since October 27.
According to reports, the tragedy began on Sunday evening around 8:00 p.m. when Avadhesh and his wife, Anjali, set out to return to their home. During the journey, Avadhesh purchased alcohol, which sparked a heated verbal altercation between the couple.
A Desperate Struggle
As the dispute intensified, the couple reached the railway tracks near Sarai Aisar village. In a sudden and drastic move, Avadhesh attempted to end his life. Witnesses and reports suggest that Anjali desperately tried to restrain her husband, screaming for help to prevent the tragedy.
However, Avadhesh allegedly pushed his wife aside and stepped onto the tracks. He was struck by an oncoming train and died instantly on the spot.
Police Action and Aftermath
Upon receiving the report, officials from the Civil Lines police station rushed to the scene. The police took possession of the body and transported it for a post-mortem examination. The remains were eventually handed over to the grieving family on Monday afternoon.
A Family Already Scarred by Loss
The death of Avadhesh has left his family in complete shock. He was the youngest of three brothers, but the family had already endured significant tragedy; his father had passed away, and his elder brother had died from an illness 15 years ago. His mother, Kamlesh Devi, is reportedly devastated by the sudden loss of her youngest son.
