District

FAISALABAD: A child was killed and two others were injured when they jumped from a moving train near Sangla Hill town, on Thursday.

According to Railways police, three children — Sultan Ahmad (15), Suhail (11) and Abdul Rehman (12) — boarded a Faisalabad-bound train from Shahdara railway station without tickets. When the ticket-checker demanded tickets near Sangla Hill town, and threatened to call the police, they jump out of the moving train for fear of arrest.

As a result, one of them, Sultan Ahmad, died on-the-spot while other two suffered critical injuries. They were admitted to Allied Hospital.
