The incident occurred at the popular Mandore Garden in Jodhpur, where the child and her family had gone for an outing. The family was reportedly enjoying a ride on the park’s toy train when the accident took place.
According to the girl’s father, Mohammad Habib, the child, identified as Anayra, fell from the train after the operator suddenly applied the brakes during the ride.
He said passengers immediately raised the alarm and urged the train operator to stop the vehicle. However, according to the family’s account, the train continued moving for some distance before coming to a halt.
The father alleged that before the train stopped completely, one of its wheels passed over the child’s neck, causing fatal injuries. Despite efforts to save her, she died as a result of the accident.
