Allahabad:
A young woman and her one-year-old daughter were killed on Tuesday after the mother jumped before a speeding train carrying the baby in her arms, police said.
The incident took place at Saidabad railway station, about 40 km from the city. The woman, in her mid-20s, jumped off the platform while a train was passing through, GRP officials said.
Prima facie, it seemed that the woman took the extreme step following a tiff at home, they said.
The badly mutilated bodies were taken for post-mortem.
Some onlookers claimed they knew the woman, who worked as a daily wage labourer and reportedly had frequent squabbles with her alcoholic husband, GRP officials said.
