Kota, Rajasthan:

 A 42-year-old railway station master died after his car was swept away by the strong current while he was crossing a flooded bridge in Rajasthan’s Bundi district, police said on Thursday.

The incident took place late Wednesday night when Manish Meghwal, resident of Janta Colony in Jaipur who was posted at Srinagar Railway Station in Bundi, was returning from duty.

Mr Meghwal’s car swept into the Chitawa river in Namana police station area, Station House Officer (SHO) Mahendra Singh said.
