A train collision in Odisha’s Jajpur district on Sunday evening claimed the lives of a man and his minor son, according to police reports.
The victims were identified as Bisu Penthei, 30, and his 18‑month‑old son Dharama, residents of Naya Bagapatia village in the Sukinda block of Jajpur.
The incident occurred near Naubahali within Sukinda police limits. Government Railway Police (GRP) were dispatched to the scene, recovered the bodies, and sent them for post‑mortem examination.
A GRP officer said the investigation had been launched after registering a case. He added that the exact circumstances of the incident were unclear and that a definitive explanation would only emerge once the post‑mortem report is received.
