Student's Tragic Fall From Train After Unsafe Journey
9 Oct
Summary
- A student felt unsafe in a coach with unruly, inebriated men.
- Her body was found near Tekkali after she allegedly fell from the train.
- Family and police are investigating the circumstances of her death.
A 20-year-old college student from Assam tragically lost her life after allegedly falling from a train near Tekkali in Andhra Pradesh. She had boarded the train in Visakhapatnam on Wednesday, October 8, 2026, heading back to her home. Hours into the journey, she reportedly contacted friends and family, expressing discomfort due to "unruly, inebriated" men in her coach and sharing a video of the situation.
Her body was found on Thursday, October 9, 2026, over 24 hours after her last communication. While preliminary evidence from the South Coast Railway suggests she fell from the running train, her family suspects negligence from the Railway Protection Force (RPF) and demands a full investigation. They claim their distress calls to the police were not adequately addressed.
The young woman had been in Andhra Pradesh with a dance troupe since August 13, 2026. An altercation with program organizers reportedly led to some troupe members being beaten, prompting the group to leave and board trains back home. The circumstances surrounding her fall are now under inquiry by both the Government Railway Police (GRP) and RPF.
