The brothers of 45-year-old carpenter, Harish Chander Shankarlal, who died outside Vasai Road station on Thursday after walking 30 km in the sun from Bhayandar to board a train to Rajasthan, say his wife Pavita, sons Akhil and Lakshya and mother Chameli Devi have not been told of his death. They are demanding a probe into his death after authorities claim Shankarlal's name was not on the passenger list.

Shankarlal's relative Sawarmal Jangir said his name was on the list of passengers who boarded the train to Sikar from Vasai Road. But the tehsildar as well as Palghar police told mid-day that it wasn't. The authorities claim his name was not there as the train was only for those living in Vasai taluka, not Bhayandar.
