Coconut thrown from train kills man on bridge

India Sep 29, 2025

Sanjay Bhoir, 30, lost his life after a coconut—thrown from a moving local train as part of religious offerings—struck him on the Naigaon-Bhayandar railway bridge Saturday morning.
He was rushed to two hospitals but sadly died Sunday due to severe head injuries and blood loss.
Police are investigating the incident and are in the process of registering a case.

Residents demand action

People living on Panju Island say this isn't the first time someone's been hurt by items tossed from trains during rituals.
They're urging railway authorities to crack down on this practice and enforce stricter penalties so pedestrians aren't put at risk just for using these bridges.
