A woman got injured when she allegedly fell from a train in Uttar Pradesh's Bareilly district, police said on Friday.

 The incident took place on Thursday when a woman, said to be around 27 years old, was travelling to Lucknow on the Kashi Vishwanath Express, they said.

The woman was found lying injured near Pitambara station here and some passersby informed the police, which took her to the hospital.
