OLD GOA
When contacted, a relative told The Goan that the incident took place at about 3.30 pm, when Sachin Kundaikar along with his friends had gone to play a football match at Marcela.
“As they were returning home, they decided to take a photograph at the railway bridge at Daujim. While the others were able to get back to safety when the train approached, Sachin could not escape in time and was hit by the speeding train,” said the relative.
Sachin was rushed to Goa Medical College at Bambolim, but was declared dead on arrival.
The relative also informed that Sachin’s father had died eight months ago and his mother had expired a month back. He is survived by an elder brother and two sisters.
“Sachin was a good football player and played for a local club ‘Forever United’ from Chimbel,” the relative added.
KR Police registered a case of unnatural death and the final rites were performed in Chimbel on Monday.
