An unidentified teenage boy died after falling from the roof of a moving train near railway tracks under Khilkhet flyover in the capital early Sunday.


The incident occurred around 2:00pm on Saturday when the 15-year-old boy fell from the roof of a moving train near the Khilkhet rail-line, said police.
