Elderly couple dies after getting hit by railway tracks

Madikeri, Feb. 22: An elderly couple from the district died after getting hit by a train in Hassan.

David (82) and Mary (75) of Harehosur village near Shanivarasante are the unfortunate victims. The accident is said to have occurred when a train hit them while they were crossing the railway tracks near Karigowda barangay or while they were near the tracks on Saturday night. This morning, the couple's son identified the bodies at the Hassan District Hospital morgue.

The deceased couple has two sons, one living in Bengaluru and the other in Shanivarasante. It is suspected that one of them committed suicide due to lack of care, and the police have launched an investigation. Despite having a property, a house and a coffee plantation, the couple was alone in their old age without anyone to take care of them. For a few days, the couple, who had also been admitted to an old age home in Virajpet, were in severe pain. It is suspected that the deceased may have come to Hassan and committed suicide.

Currently, officials from the Hassan Barrage Police Station and the Railway Police Department have registered a case and are conducting further investigation.
