Two Indian-Origin Friends Fatally Struck by Train at NYC Subway Station
Malaika Chitre and Navam Kaul, both 24 and of Indian origin, died after being struck by a southbound No. 4 train at New York City's Spring Street subway station early Sunday. Witnesses saw the pair hugging and kissing on the platform before Kaul fell onto the tracks, hitting his head. Chitre then went onto the tracks, possibly to help him. The train operator attempted to stop but could not prevent the collision. Authorities continue investigating the circumstances leading to their deaths.
