Agustin Shaju

A 14-year-old boy hailing from Kerala had not imagined that taking a shortcut would end his life abruptly on Wednesday. In order to cross over from one platform to the other, he and his father ditched the stairs and decided to hop into a goods train that was waiting between the platforms at Vasai railway station. The moment they tried to get down, the train started moving and the boy fell in the gap between the tracks and the platform. While the boy, Agustin Shaju, was killed on the spot, his father, Shaju Anthony (40), received minor head injuries trying to save him.
