New Delhi: A 46-year-old nun who hailed from Gujarat and worked in a school in Jharkhand’s Simdega, was killed while trying to get down from a moving train that she wrongly boarded at Jharsuguda railway station on December 26.
The deceased has been identified as Sister Jyotsna Parmar, a resident of Anand district. Parmar, who worked at St Ursula’s School in Simdega, was at the station to board a train for Gujarat, to see her ailing mother. As there is no direct train from Simdega to Gujarat, she had planned to go via Jharsuguda in Odisha.
Parmar boarded the CSTM Howrah-Geetanjali Express that arrived at 4:28am and was to depart at 4:30am. She was supposed to board the Howrah-Porbandar Express, which was scheduled to arrive at 4:38am.
Upon realizing that she had boarded the wrong train, she immediately tried to get down. As the train had started moving, Parmar fell on the tracks and was killed. Soudamani Nag, inspector in charge of GRP (Jharsuguda), said, “We have informed her family about the accident and have sent the body for postmortem.”
