Committed suicide by lying in front of train

The DSP said that on Sunday the boy left his hostel room at around 6.30 pm and reached Kota railway station. According to the loco pilot, when the boy saw the train coming, he lay down on the tracks and came under the train around 7 pm. The pilot immediately informed the Government Railway Police about the incident and said that he was unable to stop the train on time due to high speed. No suicide note was recovered from the boy.
