Vidisha:
An angry mob has reportedly torched property at the Gulbanj railway station in Madhya Pradesh after two children were killed when they were run over by a goods train.
The accident occurred at the Central Railway's Gulabganj railway station, about 20 km from Vidisha, after a wrong announcement was allegedly made about the train.
An announcement was made at the station for a train leaving on the up line. Hearing the announcement, some people, including the children, tried to cross the down line by crawling under a goods train which was stationed there.
However, the station master wrongly issued a green signal for the goods train, which suddenly started moving crushing the two children under it to death, railway police said.
The children - Mohammad Ali (5) and his eight-year-old sister, whose name was yet to be ascertained - died on the spot, they said.
The railway station has no foot over bridge, because of which people mostly cross the tracks to reach the station.
Several trains scheduled on the route were stopped at Bina, Bhopal and Vidisha railway stations, said officials.
