The incident occurred at 8 PM when the Jaipur Express struck the individuals crossing the tracks.

"They had come to Palghar to make household purchases. At 8:30pm, the three attempted to cross a railway crossing that has been shut for many years now. Two of them were hit by a train and died on the spot. One of them managed to escape with injuries," said former corporator Lakshmidevi Hazari.

Residents of the area said people continue to use the railway crossing despite it being shut due to lack of an alternative route there to cross from east to west.
