Trio ignored students’ warning

BENGALURU: Only if the trio had paid heed to a warning from some students, they would have been alive today. Ignorance brought them death, said students who saw them a few minutes before the tragedy. Ravi and Praveen, students from Jame-Ul-Uloom college, Bidadi said: “We were heading to the college when we saw these three almost making their way to the railway track.

We stopped them but they stared at us and left. Within the next five minutes they were under the train.” Few days ago, police came to our college and informed us that some miscreants were pelting stones on trains from the bridge. We told them that we weren’t doing it but they asked us to inform them if we found anybody doing it.”

Ravi said: “We saw the trio standing on the bridge and asked them to leave. Had they taken our advice and left for Wonder La, they would have survived. Later, when we reached our college and we learned about the incident.” Raju, a villager who witnessed the incident said that he did not initially realize why they went towards the track but later came to know that they wanted to click a selfie.
