In a part-bizarre, part-tragic incident, a Vande Bharat train caused the death of a cow and a man who was peeing on the tracks. Reportedly, the train hit a cow, causing it to fly in the air and hitting a man who was reportedly relieving himself on the tracks in Alwar. Unfortunately, due to the collision and impact, both the cow and man died, respectively.
It was a seemingly ordinary day, with the sun beating down mercilessly on the railway tracks. Shivdayal Sharma, perhaps seeking relief from the oppressive heatwave that has gripped the country, had wandered onto the tracks to relieve himself. Little did he know that a deadly danger was lurking just around the corner.
Suddenly, without warning, a cow appeared out of nowhere, straying into the path of the high-speed Vande Bharat train. The train, hurtling forward with tremendous force, collided with the hapless bovine. In a moment of sheer horror, the cow was thrown into the air, hurtling towards Sharma like a deadly projectile.
The cow slammed into him with incredible force, crushing him beneath its weight. He was later rushed to a hospital, where he was declared dead.
The Vande Bharat Express has been in the news for similar such collisions with cattle that wander onto the tracks.
The Facts of the Matter
In a recent incident in Rajasthan, a man lost his life after being hit by a cow. The incident shed light on the unpredictable nature of life and to the fact that death can come out of nowhere.
The victim, a retired railway employee, was reportedly relieving himself on the railway tracks when the unfortunate event occurred. The cow, which had strayed onto the tracks, was hit by a high-speed train, causing it to fly towards the man and crush him under its weight.

It was a seemingly normal day when Shivdayal Sharma, like he had done countless times before, found himself relieving himself on the railway track. Little did he know that fate had something tragic in store for him.
In an unfortunate turn of events, a cow suddenly appeared out of nowhere and blocked the path of a speeding Vande Bharat train. The train, traveling at a high speed, had no time to stop and collided with the unsuspecting cow, sending the animal flying in the air.

What happened next was nothing short of a nightmare. The cow, now airborne and out of control, crashed down on Sharma with an unstoppable force. The impact was so severe that Sharma sustained critical injuries due to the weight of the helpless bovine.
While disbelieving eyewitnesses rushed Sharma to a private hospital, the extent of his injuries and nature of incident was such that he was referred to a government hospital.
Both Man and Cow Dead
After being rushed from the private hospital to the government hospital, Sharma was declared dead. Meanwhile, the cow that landed on him was also reported dead.
It should be noted that Vande Bharat express has been making rounds of the news-cycle frequently. There have been several similar incidents of the fast train running over cattle that somehow wander ono the railway tracks and are killed.

“Inevitable”: Railway Minister on Vande Bharat Collisions
When asked about the incidents, Railway minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said that such incidents are unavoidable. “In India, the tracks are laid on the ground. Wherever you go, cattle will cross them, one cannot stop them,” he said.
“The trains will run at a speed of 120-130-160 kmph and a collision is inevitable. It is a matter of common sense and design,” he added.
