Faridabad man takes 4 sons to railway tracks, holds screaming kids tightly as train runs over them
A 36-year-old man and his four young sons were run over by a train near the Ballabhgarh railway station in Faridabad Tuesday in a suspected act of murder-suicide. The police said he had allegedly suspected his wife of unfaithfulness based on her statement after the deaths. Manoj Mahto, a daily-wage labourer, allegedly told his wife in the afternoon that he was taking their four young sons to a park near their house in Subhash Colony, Faridabad. The children, aged three, six, nine and ten, were instead allegedly taken to railway tracks about 200 metres away, below the flyover under Alson Chowk around 12.30 pm. Mahot waited for the train to arrive and bought his children chips and fizzy drinks, said the police. 'The area where they were was not visible from the road. They were sitting there, 1.5 km south of the Ballabhgarh railway station. He held on tightly to the children as the Golden Temple Express arrived,' said Raj Pal, Faridabad Government Railway Police (GRP) Station House Officer. The train ran over all of them, and the children's pleas for help went unheard, partly due to the remote location, he added. The loco pilot issued a warning shortly after and the police reached the spot. They found the Aadhaar cards of Mahto and his wife and contacted her using the mobile number on her card. She arrived there and reportedly fainted when she saw the bodies of her husband and sons. The bodies were taken to the Badshah Khan Civil Hospital for autopsies. 'Initial questioning revealed that he used to suspect her marital loyalty. He would see her speaking to other men on the phone and have doubts (of a possible extramarital relationship). So, as of now, the motive seems to be that,' Raj Pal said. 'There has been no FIR or complaint so far. Even the alleged motive was only mentioned by the wife. We are currently speaking with her,' said Rajesh Kumar Chechi, GRP Deputy Superintendent of Police, Faridabad.

Chips and cola in hand, man waits with 4 sons on railway tracks till train crushes them in Faridabad
Gurgaon: A 36-year-old man led his four sons — the youngest aged three and the oldest nine — to the railway tracks and held them tightly by the arms till an express train ran all five of them over on Tuesday afternoon at Ballabhgarh in Faridabad. Witnesses said Manoj Mehto refused to let the children go even as they pleaded with him to be released as they watched a train – Golden Temple Express – hurtle down the tracks towards them. "The train that was coming from Mumbai crushed them under its wheels around 1.10pm," said Rajpal, the SHO of the Govt Railway Police unit. While leaving home near Subhash Colony around 12.15pm, Manoj — originally from Bihar — told his wife Priya that he was taking the kids to a nearby park to play. Instead, he took them to the tracks and sat under Elson Chowk flyover for about an hour, waiting for the train to arrive. He bought chips and soft drinks for the kids. After the incident, the loco pilot alerted authorities at Ballabhgarh railway station. Police identified Manoj through his Aadhaar card and found his wife's phone number scribbled on a chit in his pocket, indicating Manoj's actions were premeditated, not something that happened on the spur of the moment. "We initially received information that a woman and her children had jumped before the train. But when we reached the spot, we learnt that a father and his sons were run over on the tracks," a GRP official said. When Priya was called, she told GRP personnel her husband had taken the kids out to the park and would return home soon. Called to the spot, she fainted on seeing their bodies. The remains were taken to the mortuary of Badshah Khan Civil Hospital for autopsy. Police said they were investigating why Manoj, a daily wager, took the drastic step. Police sources said Manoj had a troubled marriage but it wasn't clear if that had anything to do with his act of ending his own and the children's lives. "The priority now is to establish Manoj's state of mind and circumstances that led him to take such a step. It is also important to support the bereaved family," a police officer said.
