Three people, including a couple, were run over by a train near Masuri in Ghaziabad on Wednesday night, while they were allegedly shooting videos on their phones, police said on Thursday.
The family members of the deceased people, however, denied the allegation and said the three were short of money for public transport and took a detour through the railway tracks on their way home.
Police identified the deceased as Mohammad Nadeem (23), his wife Zainab (20), and their neighbour Shakeel Ahmad (22). Their families said the couple got married seven months ago and that Zainab was pregnant.
