The Government Railway Police (GRP), deploying four special teams, has intensified its search to trace a suspect involved in the murder of a woman at the Saidapet Railway Station. The murder took place on the night of Wednesday, July 19, 2023. A 34-year-old woman vendor was stabbed by an unidentified man when a crowd of passengers got down from an EMU train and were moving towards the exit. Panic-stricken commuters at the busy railway station ran helter-skelter, and in the confusion, the suspect escaped. The GRP arrived at the spot and rushed the victim, struggling for her life, to the Government Royapettah Hospital. Unfortunately, she died without responding to treatment on Thursday, July 20, 2023. The victim was identified as Raji alias Rajeshwari, a resident of Meenambakkam, who was selling snacks on the suburban trains between Chennai Beach and Tambaram. GRP Superintendent of Police V. Ponram stated that initial investigation suggests the stabbing was due to enmity between vendors. The GRP has formed four special police teams to apprehend the suspect and review CCTV footage at all the railway stations along the route. For more information, please click on the Read More button.
