The video, shot by a person inside the train, shows a smiling Nakate hanging by a steel pole of the compartment and asking the crowd to move in and give him space. A few seconds later, Nakate’s grip on the pole loosens and a horrified Nakate is seen falling from the speeding train.

Nakate fell between Kopri and Diva stations. Officials were informed about the accident by a fellow traveller.

“Railway officials reached the spot and ferried him to a hospital with the help of locals. However, he had died by then,” said an official of Dombivli railway station. Incidentally, Nakate’s Twitter handle has a display picture that shows him standing at the door of an empty train.

Suburban trains are packed, especially during peak hours, with eight people forced to stand in less than one square metre.
