Two young men were run over by a speeding train at a closed manned level crossing near Dhampur railway station, railway officials said today.
Mohsin and Salim, both in their 20's, were hit by Gorakhpur-DehraDun Barauni Express train when they tried to cross the tracks bypassing the closed crossing gate with their motor cycle last afternoon, they said.
The gateman had warned them against crossing the track, but they did not pay heed to him, officials added.
