In April 2023, Shivdayal Sharma, an 82-year-old retired electrician from the Railways, found himself in an unfortunate circumstance. While relieving himself near a railway track, an unexpected event unfolded. A stray cow wandered onto the track, coinciding with the passage of the semi-high-speed Vande Bharat Express, known for its speed of approximately 130-160 km

The collision between the train and the cow proved to be devastating. The impact launched the unfortunate animal a staggering 30 meters into the air. Tragically, a portion of the cow's body landed directly on Sharma, who stood nearby. The force of the collision proved fatal, instantly claiming Sharma's life. Another individual, who happened to be in close proximity, narrowly escaped harm as the cow missed them by a hair's breadth.
