According to local police personnel, they came to Palasa from Secunderabad in Shalimar express and spent some time on the the railway station premises.

Later, they walked on the track and jumped before the goods train and were killed on the spot. The police personnel identified their address and other details with the support of Aadhaar cards which were available in their bags. The police personnel informed the family members and about the incident and made arrangements for post-mortem for the bodies at Palasa government hospital.
