In a heart-wrenching accident near Mumbra railway station on Monday morning, four passengers lost their lives after falling from a crowded Mumbai local train. The tragic incident occurred as two local trains sped past each other, causing passengers hanging from the doors to collide and fall onto the tracks. Authorities have now officially released the identities of the deceased, bringing both grief and clarity to their families and the wider community.
