Kolkata, Jul 2 (IBNS): Three persons, including two women, were run over by a suburban train at Champahati area in Kolkata's neighbouring South 24 Parganas district of West Bengal on Sunday early morning, reports said.

According to reports, three street vendors were hit and killed by a local train at around 6:40 am. while they were trying to cross rail tracks near Champahati railway station in Sealdah-Canning section.

"One male and two females were hit by a local train while crossing rail line near Champahati station. A man and a woman died on spot while another old woman was pronounced dead after she was rushed to a local hospital," a police official said.

"Two deceased have been identified as Pintu Mondal and Mamoni Mondal who were brother-sister and residents of Tardaha area under Kolkata Leather Complex (KLC) limits in South 24 Parganas district," the officer added. "Identity of another killed woman is yet to be established."

Senior officials of the Eastern Railway claimed that illegal occupation of railroad-side areas and habit of crossing railway tracks without following rules led to the accident.

Meanwhile, three persons were reported killed after falling into a septic tank at Post Office Para Pukurdanga area under Chapra Police Station limits in West Bengal's Nadia district on Sunday.

According to local police reports, three deceased have been identified as Bakbul Mullick, Faruque Mondal and Abdul Hamid Mondal.
