A speeding dumper truck collided with a motorcycle near the Barara Buzurg intersection, sparking a massive fire that gutted both vehicles.
A Heartbreaking Reunion
The victim, 50-year-old Indrapal, was a resident of the Gadaganj police station area and earned his living working in the footwear manufacturing industry in Kanpur. On Sunday night, Indrapal arrived at the Barara Buzurg halt via a passenger train, returning home to his family.
