In a disturbing incident aboard the Visakhapatnam Express, a young man, reportedly in an inebriated state, attempted to sexually assault a female passenger, resulting in serious injuries to the victim. The incident occurred on Tuesday evening when the train, en route from Secunderabad to Bhubaneswar, reached Miryalaguda station at 7 pm.
As the train slowed down approaching the station, Biswas, identified as a resident of Odisha, was found intoxicated near the train door. Meanwhile, the victim, traveling in the S-2 coach, was returning to her seat from the washroom. Biswas allegedly grabbed her forcefully, causing her to fall from the moving train. Shortly after, Biswas himself fell from the train tracks.
The injured woman managed to reach a nearby settlement, where she alerted locals about the assault. Railway police, led by SI Pawan Kumar Reddy, responded swiftly. They transported the victim to the hospital in an ambulance, while Biswas, found intoxicated nearby, was also taken to the hospital for treatment.
Railway authorities have registered a case based on the victim’s complaint and initiated an investigation into the incident. The victim, identified as a teacher in a private school in Srikakulam district, continues to receive medical care as authorities pursue the legal proceedings.
