Body of Migrant worker Found inside Train Toilet

While the sanitation workers were cleaning the trains in Jhansi, a dead body was located in the toilet on Wednesday. Police have said that the deceased was a migrant worker and had died 4 days prior.

“We got information around 10 pm Wednesday regarding a body being found in a train at the Jhansi railway yard. We immediately rushed there along with a medical team. The body was found in the toilet of the Shramik train and it had decomposed and was smelling. His face had swollen and we had kept the body at the mortuary. We found an Aadhaar card with the body and identified him as Mohan Lal Sharma, resident of Basti district,” Jhansi’s Inspector Anjana Verma told the Indian Express.

Mohan Lal Sharma was working in a factory in Mumbai and was returning to his home town due to the global pandemic. “After reaching Jhansi from Mumbai, he had gone to Gorakhpur on another train and we have found a ticket from his pocket which was for May 23. He had left at 11.40 am on May 23 and the empty train returned to Jhansi on May 27 at 7.30 pm. The door of the toilet was also not locked properly and we have also found Rs 27,000 cash from the body,” added Inspector Verma.
