Hyderabad: A 38-year-old software professional and her two teenage children were found dead along railway tracks between Cherlapally and Ghatkesar railway stations near Hyderabad, police said on Saturday. Authorities suspect the incident to be a case of suicide, though investigations are ongoing.
The bodies were found on the MMTS railway line close to Cherlapally station during the early hours of the day.
Goods train pilot alerted police
According to police, the incident came to light at around 12:40 AM when a loco pilot of a goods train noticed three bodies lying on the tracks and alerted railway authorities.
Soon after the alert, teams from the Railway Protection Force (RPF) and Government Railway Police (GRP) rushed to the location and secured the area.
The bodies were found in a mutilated condition and were later shifted for further examination.
Victims identified as mother and children
Police identified the deceased as a woman working in the IT sector, her 18-year-old daughter who was studying in Class 12 and her 17-year-old son, a Class 11 student.
The family lived in Harithaharam Colony in Boduppal, located in Medchal-Malkajgiri district of Telangana.
A senior GRP official from Secunderabad said initial observations suggest suicide, as no railway tickets were recovered from the spot, indicating the family did not plan to travel.
Bodies sent for post-mortem
The bodies have been moved to Gandhi Hospital for post-mortem examination.
Police have informed the family members and will record their statements to understand the circumstances that led to the deaths.
The woman’s husband, who works for a ceramic company in Nellore, was reportedly not at home at the time of the incident.
No financial distress found so far
Police enquiries with neighbours revealed no signs of financial stress. Officials said the woman earned a stable income and the children were studying in reputed schools.
The Secunderabad GRP has registered a case under Section 194 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), which deals with enquiries into suspected suicide or accidental deaths.
Further investigation is underway.
