Woman falls in bid to board moving train in Cherlapally, dies
Hyderabad: A woman trying to change compartments at Cherlapally railway station died after falling in the gap between the carriage and platform in her bid to board the moving train on Sunday.
M Swetha (33) was on her way to her in-laws' home in Anakapalle in Andhra Pradesh along with her two children. Her husband, M Venkatesh, had sent the family off from the Lingampalli railway station on Janmabhoomi Express.
"They had boarded the D-3 compartment. After the train started to move, another passenger told Swetha that they had occupied his seat. She verified her ticket and decided to move to D-8. Since she couldn't make her way through the walkway between the compartments to reach D-8 due to the rush, she then decided to get down at Cherlapally station," a Govt Railway Police official said.
When the train reached Cherlapally station, Swetha and her two children got down and started to quickly walk towards D-8. But by the time they reached the compartment, the train had started to move.
She then quickly made her children, son (10) and daughter (12), to get on the train along with the luggage. However, as she tried to get on, the train had already picked up speed. Her feet slipped and she fell between the platform and the moving train, a govt railway police official said.
By the time someone pulled the chain, Swathi had been run over. The railway police later contacted her husband, a manager in a private firm, after finding her Aadhaar and phone in her purse. Her body has been taken to Anakapalle.

Lured with hospital jobs, 3 Bangladeshi women trafficked to Mumbai and forced into sex trade
The Malvani police arrested a 53-year-old man Saturday and are currently searching for his three accomplices for allegedly trafficking three women from Bangladesh to Mumbai, misleading them with false promises of employment at a hospital, only to force them into the sex trade. The police rescued the three Bangladeshi women and sent them to a shelter home. According to the police, acting on specific information, the Malwani police raided a house Saturday night and rescued the three women. During the initial investigation, when the women's statements were recorded, it was revealed that they are Bangladeshi nationals from poor families. The women were desperately seeking work to support their families, the police said. The victims told the police that the accused falsely promised them jobs in hospitals in Mumbai. Last month, they were allegedly brought to Mumbai by illegally crossing the international border between India and Bangladesh. The accused allegedly bribed some government officials at the border to facilitate their illegal entry into India. The police registered a suo motu FIR and arrested Mansar Ahmed Sheikh, a Malvani resident, and are looking for Mehandi Hassan, Sanjeev alias Bachchan, and Akash alias Shaheen. The group members also allegedly helped one of the three women in making an Aadhaar card in her name to conceal her Bangladeshi nationality, an officer said. The four accused have been booked under sections 143(3) [trafficking of person], 144(2) [Exploitation of a trafficked person], 336(3) [crime of forgery], and 3(5) [common intention] of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and sections 4 and 5 of the Illegal Trafficking (Prevention) Act. The police are investigating whether the group trafficked women and forced them into the flesh trade in the past.
