Woman, 23, injured after jumping from train in Hyderabad to escape rape bid

According to reports, a 23-year-old woman was hurt when she jumped from a moving train in Hyderabad, Telangana, to get away from a man who was trying to rape her in the coach. The event occurred on the evening of March 22, when the victim was traveling alone in the ladies coach of the MMTS (Multi Modal Transport Service) train from Medchal to Secunderabad railway station, according to the victim's testimony to the government railway police.

The woman, who works in the private sector, had been traveling from Medchal to Secunderabad in order to fix the display on her cell phone. The woman claimed that an unidentified man got into the ladies coach after two other female passengers who were riding with her got off the train at the Alwal railway station.

She refused the roughly 25-year-old man's requests for sexual favors. She then leaped out of the moving train as he attempted to push himself on her. The woman is presently undergoing treatment for injuries to her head, chin, right hand, and waist. People on the platform had seen her and assisted in escorting her to a state-run hospital in the area.
