Description of ghost train

One morning, a train with a “ghostly quality” arrives at the Mano Majra station. The guards on the train call immediately for the subinspector and Hukum Chand, who arrive with an escort of 50 armed policemen. The people of Mano Majra gather and discuss the mysterious train, but no one gives them any answers. A soft breeze begins to waft the smell of burning wood, kerosene, and searing flesh through the village. Everyone in Mano Majra can recognize the smell of burning bodies, and they sit in silence, knowing that the train came from Pakistan. That night, for the first time in the history of Mano Majra, Imam Baksh does not perform his evening prayer.
