Woman Alleges Attempted Assault on MMTS Train
The young woman, originally from Anantapur district, is employed at a private company in Hyderabad and resides in a hostel in Medchal. On the day of the incident, she had traveled to Secunderabad to get her mobile phone repaired. After completing her task, she boarded the Tellapur-Medchal MMTS train around 7:30 PM, entering the women-only coach.
According to her initial statement, while she was alone in the coach, a man approached her and tried to touch her inappropriately, demanding sexual favors. Fearing for her safety, she allegedly jumped out of the moving train and sustained serious injuries after falling near the tracks.
Locals Rescue Woman, Police Launch Investigation
Locals who discovered the injured woman quickly dialed 108 emergency services, and she was taken to the hospital for treatment. The Railway Police registered a case and launched an intensive investigation into the incident.
Investigation Reveals No Evidence of Assault
The case, which initially appeared to be a grave offense, took a twist when the woman retracted her statement, saying that no attempted assault actually occurred. This development left the authorities puzzled.
Officials revealed that they examined over 250 CCTV cameras and questioned around 100 witnesses, but found no evidence to support the claims made by the woman. This led the police to question the woman again, during which she admitted to fabricating the story.
Authorities Urge Caution, Highlight Misuse of Legal System
