A migrant labourer has alleged that his eight-year-old daughter passed away in a moving train in Haryana after not receiving any medical aid when she felt extremely sick during the journey.
Rintu Chaudhry, who belongs to a village in Bihar, said he, his daughter and his wife had boarded a train to Howrah, West Bengal, on Monday from Ludhiana, Punjab, where he works in a factory.
As soon as the train started from Ludhiana, the girl started vomiting continuously, Chaudhry said.
"When her condition became serious, one of the passengers rang up railway helpline number 138 using his mobile phone, but no medical aid was provided to my daughter," he told reporters here on Monday. "The girl took her last breath just before the train reached the Ambala Cantonment station (Haryana) after nearly two hours of journey."
