TTE Dies of Heart Attack on Train
A man named Dhiraj Kumar, who was a TTE (a person who checks tickets on trains), died on Tuesday morning.
He was working on the Mumbai-Delhi Rajdhani Express train when he suddenly felt very sick.
He told his friends he had chest pain, and then he fell unconscious.
His friends tried to help him, but they couldn't save him.
The train stopped at the next station, and doctors there said he had already died.
He was 54 years old and from a place called Valsad in Gujarat.
Doctors think he died because of a heart attack, but he didn't have any problems with his heart before this happened.
Dhiraj Kumar, a 54-year-old TTE from Valsad, Gujarat, died of a suspected heart attack while on duty on the Mumbai-Delhi Rajdhani Express.
The incident occurred shortly after the train crossed Chhata in the morning, between Chhata and Kosi Kalan stations in Mathura district, Uttar Pradesh.
Kumar complained of chest pain and collapsed, becoming unresponsive shortly after.
His colleagues attempted CPR but were unsuccessful in reviving him.
The train was halted at Kosi Kalan station, where he was declared brought dead by doctors at a community health centre.
