Newly wed pregnant woman, hubby from Kerala run over by EMU train

Chennai, Sep 5 (UNI) In a heart rending incident, tragedy struck a newly married couple
from Kerala who relocated to Chennai in a bid to start a new life, when they over run over
by an EMU train while walking near the railway track on Wednesday night.
The couple--a pregnant woman and her husband--were run over by an EMU train at the Guduvancherry railway station near here last night.
Police said, the lovelorn couple, who had married against their families wishes, left Kerala
and came to Chennai on Tuesday to start a new life in the city.
The deceased couple were identified as as Mohamed Sherif (36), a car driver, and his wife
Aishwarya (28), of Kozhikode, who was working as a school teacher.
The duo, who were in love for the past few years, got married a few months ago as their
families did not accept their relationship and strongly opposed it.
Aishwarya was four months pregnant when they decided to relocate to Chennai.
After arriving in the city on Tuesday, they boarded an EMU to Guduvancheri to visit one of
their friends last evening.
Their friend received them at the Guduvancherry Railway Station and they were walking
near the railway track when a Beach-Chengalpattu EMU train hit the couple at around
9.30 pm.
While Sherif died on the spot, Aishwarya, who suffered grievous injuries, was rushed
to the private hospital in Potheri where she succumbed past midnight.
Tambaram Railway police sent their bodies to the Chromepet Government Hospital
for post mortem.
