KOCHI: Two teenagers, who were trying to alight from a moving train, fell to their death in Koratty railway station early on Friday.

The incident occurred near Chalakudy when 16-year-old Krishnakumar and 17-year-old Sajan were returning from their work place in Kochi.

As the train does not have a stop in Koratty, they jumped out when it slowed down. While one of the boys came under the moving train, the other got severely injured after his head hit the platform.

Since the incident took place in the wee hours and the station is more or less deserted, it went unnoticed. By the time people saw the injured teenagers, it was too late and they succumbed to their injuries.
