Saharsa: Over 150 sheep were crushed to death by Janaki Express train near Dauram railway station in Madhepura district in the wee hours on Wednesday. The train was going to Jainagar from Katihar. When the train was passing through Dauram suddenly a large number of sheep came on the track near behind a godown located on the west of Bhirkhi rail bridge.  The train crushed them. Station Master Paras Nath Mishra said that the rail police jawans reached the spot immediately. The incident took place because the shepherds were sleeping. All of them fled away after the incident making it difficult to identify the owner of the sheep.
