Hyderabad: Walking on railway tracks with earphones plugged in proved fatal for a B Tech student in the city on Monday.
D Shanti Kumar, a first year student of Methodist Engineering College in Abids, was mowed down by a train near Kacheguda railway station. Preliminary investigation by the Railway Police revealed that Kumar, who was on his way to college, was walking on the tracks from Nimboliadda towards Kacheguda station. Eyewitnesses told the Railway Police that Kumar was listening to music on his cellphone. “Engrossed in the music, Kumar might not have heard the approaching train,” a Kacheguda GRP official said. Police booked a case under Section 174 (suspicious death) of the CrPC and shifted the body for postmortem. The victim used to stay at the government social welfare hostel in Nimboliadda.
In the past too, two youngsters who were listening to music while walking on tracks, met a similar fate. While a 23-year-old software engineer, Mohini Shanti Priya, died when she was hit by a train near Fatehnagar, 16-year-old J Theresa was run over near Sitaphalmandi railway station.
