Mumbai: A beggar, Birbhichand Azad, 62, died after he was hit by a speeding train while he was crossing railway tracks near Govandi station.

It took the cops eight hours to count the coins kept in the shanty, police said. The team was left shocked again after they found receipts of fixed deposits in different banks, worth 8.77 lakh.
The police team also found Azad's PAN card, Aadhaar card and senior citizen card issued in his name which had his address in Rajasthan.
