A goods train in Jodhpur, Rajasthan turned into a scene of tragedy on Friday when two school children were run over while trying to escape from a pack of dogs. The victims, identified as Ananya Kanwar (9) and Yuvraj Singh (11), were cousins and part of a group of children walking home from school. The incident occurred in the Banar area of Jodhpur, when the dogs from a nearby house began chasing the terrified children. In a desperate bid to evade the dogs, Ananya and Yuvraj found themselves on the railway tracks, where they were tragically struck by a passing train just meters away from Banad Cantt station.
