Jharsuguda: In a shocking incident, a woman was thrown by her own son on a goods train laden with coal after she fell ill here. The victim was rescued by a railway staff and was admitted to a hospital for treatment.

The victim was identified as Indira Meher (52), wife of Gobinda Meher of Gumadera area in Belpahar.

According to reports, Indira was brought to a shelter house by her son Khageswar Meher on February 25 in Jharsuguda after her husband tied the knot with another woman.
