Jokhan Yadav, a 46-year-old ill migrant labourer onboard the Kurla LTT-Varanasi Shramik Express train allegedly died of hunger after not having eaten anything for 62 hours, a nephew who was accompanying him has alleged.

Family members said that Jokhan had recently undergone angioplasty and was under medication, which he could not take due to lack of food. "He could not take his medicines as there was no food and he passed away onboard the train. We carried food for a day or so, but after the train got delayed, we were left hungry and thirsty," nephew Ravish Chand Yadav said.
