Dumka: Postmortem examination reports have confirmed that Rocky Kumar Mandal (20) and Nazia Khatoon (17), whose bodies were found on a railway track near Karmatand in Jamtara on Oct 24, died after being run over by a train. However, police said investigation is underway to ascertain whether the deaths were accidental, suicidal or involved foul play.The bodies of Rocky and Nazia, both residents of Ringochingo village, were found with their hands tied, raising questions about the circumstances leading to their deaths. Sources said doctors found fatal train-hit injuries, including severed heads, but no other external or internal injury marks.Family members said the two had been in a relationship for years but faced opposition from a village panchayat, which allegedly warned them against maintaining contact. Nazia was later married to another man. Rocky’s family claimed the panchayat had imposed a Rs 10 lakh fine over the relationship.“The post-mortem report suggests death due to being run over by a train. Investigation into other aspects of the case is continuing,” a police officer said. Local BJP functionaries have backed the demands of the families for a detailed probe.
