Man dies woman loses both legs as they jump before moving train in UP's Bhadohi

    Bhadohi (UP), May 21 (PTI) A man was killed while a woman lost both her legs after they jumped before a moving train in Uttar Pradesh's Bhadohi district, police said on Wednesday.
    “Rohit Kumar Yadav (28) and Kajal Gautam (24), both from Sonhar Mahua Patti, jumped in front of a train around 10 pm on Tuesday night near the Kandhiya railway crossing on the Bhadohi-Varanasi border," local SHO Ramesh Kumar said.
    Citing eyewitness accounts, the SHO said the two were seen getting off an auto-rickshaw and walking towards the railway track, about 100 metres away.
    While Gautam was rushed to the Maharaja Balwant Singh Government Hospital in Bhadohi in a critical condition, Yadav died on the spot, the officer said.
    Yadav, a married man with two children, was in a relationship with Gautam for about a year, and the two reportedly got married in a court on Monday against the wishes of their families, the officer said.
    Police suspect the couple took the extreme step after facing opposition from their respective families against their court marriage.
    "The couple got married in a court on Monday. However, their families refused to accept the marriage upon their return to the village, and asked them to leave. Prima facie, it appears that facing rejection, they left the village and jumped in front of the moving train," the SHO said.
