BSF jawan dies after being run over by train while chasing a chain snatcher in Delhi

K. Lakshmanna (33), a native of Brahmasamudram in Anantapur district, was serving in Jammu & Kashmir and had returned to his village on vacation. He was travelling back to rejoin duty with his wife and children when the incident occurred.

As the train was about to reach Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway Station, a robber snatched the gold chain of Lakshmanna’s wife. Reacting instinctively, Lakshmanna jumped from the train in an attempt to catch the thief. Tragically, he fell onto another railway track, where an oncoming train ran over him, killing him on the spot.

The shocking news devastated his village, as he had spent about a month with his family and fellow villagers before his return to duty.

The district administration is making arrangements to bring Lakshmanna’s body back to his native village, where he will be laid to rest with official honours.
