A tragic and heart-wrenching video was posted on social media by the onlookers where a son was clinched to her dead mother’s breast on the tracks near Damoh, about 250 km from Madhya Pradesh’s capital Bhopal.
The dead body was spotted by a train driver and people posted live video from the spot by witnessing this sorrowful scene. The son was crying and trying to wake her up by breastfeeding.

The police suspect that the women must have fallen from the train and saved her child by holding him tight. She had an injury on her head and must have been alive for a while during which she would have tried to quench her son’s hunger.
The woman and child were taken to a government hospital later by the police on Wednesday, while the son was sent to the children’s home later.
Police are trying to locate the family by the purse found beside her dead body.
