Some might call him lucky for having survived an accident that claimed nine lives, but for Haradhan Chakraborty (34) his ordeal involves more than just the scars of wounds that he suffered. Chakraborty was on board the Bikaner-Guwahati Express on Thursday when 12 coaches of the train derailed near Dohomoni area in West Bengal’s Jalpaiguri district on Thursday, leaving nine dead and more than 40 passengers injured.
Trapped with the body of a fellow passenger for over three hours, the daily wage labourer didn’t have much hope left in him until he was rescued by BSF and RPF personnel.
