In Uttar Pradesh's Prayagraj, two train mishaps near Pachdevra halt overbridge claimed the lives of five people on Wednesday evening.
What started as only one death, soon led to the deaths of four more people.
A man was run over by the Kalka Express, forcing the train to come to a halt.
As some passengers jumped out onto the tracks to observe the situation, out of "curiosity", another train, the Purushottam Express, reportedly arrived on another track and ran four people over, killing them on the spot.
The deceased have been identified as Baliram Bhagat, 36, a resident of Siwan in Bihar, Sunil Kumar from Neebi in Mirzapur, and Aakash from Khairgarh in Firozabad.
A probe into the accident has also been launched.
