The tag of a tailoring shop helped the police trace the family of a 72-year-old man, who died three days ago after being run over by a train near Dombivli in Maharashtra's Thane district, an official said on Thursday.

The body of the victim was found on April 5 on railway tracks between Dombivli and Thakurli stations and his face was beyond recognition as he was crushed by the train, the official said.
