Satna (Madhya Pradesh): A loco inspector came under the wheels of a train during inspection and died on the spot on Thursday. After the accident, the railway employees created a ruckus at the Satna railway station, which continued till late in the evening. They got down to the railway tracks and stopped the safety officer who was on a special inspection train along with others.

The police were called to check the chaos which continued till 8pm. The safety audit team reached Satna station by a special train on Thursday. Loco inspector Jitendra Nath Shukla also boarded the special train.

The safety audit team was destined to go to Manikpur via Majhgawan, Tikriya and other places. When the train reached Majhgawan station, Shukla got off the train to check the tracks. After checking the track, when he was returning to the inspection train, Gondia-Barauni Express came from the loop line and ran over him.

The angry employees also raised slogans against the safety audit team. The police reached the spot and helped the officers to get off the special train. The employees demanded the police to lodge an FIR against the railway safety. When the police assured them of taking action against the guilty after an inquiry, the employees were pacified.
