More than a dozen nilgais, Asia's largest antelope, were mowed down by a speeding Kasganj-Farrukhabad passenger train near Kampil jungle, about 148 km from Agra. The animals were in a herd of 35 and crossing the tracks late on Friday evening when the mishap occurred.
A total of 14 nilgais were killed while many others were stuck under the train's engine for hours before they were rescued by railways' quick reaction team.
The quick reaction team, with the help of local villagers, removed the bodies and buried them in the nearby fields to avoid obstruction on the railway track and prevent pollution from decomposition.
