Railway Police Recreate Assam Student’s Death At Track
Mannequins dropped from train travelling at 130 kmph to test possible scenarios: Reports
VISAKHAPATNAM: Srikakulam and government railway police conducted a simulation test on Sunday to reconstruct the suspicious death of Himashree Boro, whose body was found beside the railway track near Dusi railway station on October 7.
Two 50-kg mannequins, matching the deceased’s height, were dropped from the Prashanti Express travelling at 130 kmph. Four special teams examined possible scenarios, including whether she was pushed, thrown off by sudden jerks or accidentally slipped and fell.
GRP inspector D. Dinabandhu said the train departed from Visakhapatnam at 1.30 pm. The exercise was conducted in the presence of forensic experts, railway engineers, doctors and investigating officers.
Srikakulam superintendent of police K.V. Maheswara Reddy said the analysis report would be released on Monday. Senior police officials, including Assam inspector general of police Shiva Prasad, also attended the exercise.
