Three passengers attempting to disembark from the slowing Pune-Mumbai Deccan Queen Express at Kalyan Station had an accident on Friday morning. While one person succumbed to injuries after he lost his legs, the other two suffered injuries. They fell onto the tracks while trying to exit the train as it slowed down briefly. It's important to note that the train does not make a scheduled stop at Kalyan.

Central Railway officials confirmed the incident, explaining that the train was passing through Kalyan station on platform 7 at around 9.38 am. Since there is no planned stop at Kalyan station, three passengers tried to disembark from the moving train. Unfortunately, one of them came into contact with the train's wheels, another fell onto the platform and sustained head injuries, while the third person had minor injuries.
