Hyderabad, June 13 (Maxim News): A 50-year-old man died while trying to save his daughter from a suicide attempt after both were hit by a speeding train at Sanjeevaiah Park railway station in Hyderabad.
The tragedy occurred on June 8, when Mohammed (50) learned that his daughter, 30-year-old Aliya Begum, was upset over marital issues and intended to end her life. Rushing to the station in the evening, Mohammed attempted to stop her from jumping in front of a moving locomotive.
