Mumbai railway strike: 2 passengers dead, families demand accountability
Mumbai's sudden railway strike on Thursday turned tragic, with two people losing their lives and several others hurt.
The walkout happened after the Government Railway Police (GRP) registered an FIR against railway engineers for alleged negligence in a previous train accident.
Amid the chaos, 68-year-old Suryakant Naik was hit by a train while walking on the tracks—his family says no one warned them about service stoppages.
Families of victims demand justice
Loved ones of the victims, including 19-year-old Hailey Momaya who died trying to find another way home, are demanding accountability from the railways and those behind the strike.
Injured passengers like Yafiza Chougule and her son had to turn to private hospitals because public care wasn't enough.
The police investigation is still ongoing as questions about safety and communication pile up.
