    What's the story

    A 60-year-old man from Kerala died in a private hospital last week while receiving treatment after the hook supporting the middle berth became disconnected and the seat fell on him.

    The incident occurred on June 16 aboard the 12645 Ernakulam-Hazrat Nizamuddin Millennium Superfast Express, the Government Railway Police (GRP) reported.

    The train was passing through Telangana's Warangal district when an improperly secured middle berth seat in Ali Khan CK's compartment fell on him.

    Negligent act

    Khan suffered neck injuries 

    Khan, who was traveling on the lower berth of the sleeper coach, suffered neck injuries and was initially rushed to a hospital in Ramagundam.

    He was later transferred to a hospital in Hyderabad, where he succumbed to his injuries on June 24.

    The Indian Railways has attributed this tragic accident to the improper placement of the chain of the upper berth by a co-passenger.
