A woman was seen driving a car on a railway track in a viral video.
The woman, aged 22-25, seen driving her car directly on the railway tracks from Shankarpally to Hyderabad last week was allegedly attempting to end her life due to personal reasons, said police sources.
Railway personnel chased the woman for some distance until she eventually steered the car off the tracks, crashing into nearby trees and coming to a halt.
In the video clip, the woman was seen driving a Kia Sonet on the railway tracks. Sri Anjaneyulu, Head Constable of the local police at Shankarpalli, along with his staff, reached the spot, took the woman into custody, and brought her to the Shankarpalli Police Station.
“She was fired from the job and her car was on loan. She left her bag somewhere else and wrote with marker pen that it’s not suicide, but murder,” sources said.
She holds a postgraduate degree in botechnology and has been unemployed for the past eight months.
