Jamshedpur, Feb 17: Four mutilated bodies were found on the railway track between Talaburu and Kendposhi stations near Chaibasa under the Chakradharpur railway division early on Saturday morning.
The deceased seemed to be from a single family but the cause of death is yet to be ascertained whether it was a case of multiple suicides or accidental or a barbaric act of mass murder.
Infant, toddler among deceased
Two of the deceased were children- a one-year-old baby boy, a two-and-half-year-old baby girl, a 28-year-old woman and a 30-year-old man.
Though the children’s bodies were found lying together, the bodies of the woman and the man were found between a stretch of two km away respectively.
After the bodies were noticed by a train driver at the small hours today, train movement abruptly stopped on the route, causing disruption in the train services.
