Lucknow: Four persons and an infant were run over by speeding trains in Varanasi due to poor visibility caused by fog in the wee hours of Friday, police said.
An official told Indo-Asian News Service that the first mishap took place near Sakaldiha, a tehsil in the Chandauli district of Uttar Pradesh, where three persons returning from a wedding were mowed down.
They were apparently defecating on the side of the railway track and could not rightly estimate the distance of the train from them.
In another incident, a 23-year-old woman was killed along with her son Suleman in similar circumstances.
