According to local media such as the Hindustan Times, Levati, 36, who is four months pregnant, had a terrible accident on the 6th (local time) while heading to Chitur, Andhra Pradesh, on a train from Coimbator, Tamil Nadu, India.
At around 10:15 a.m., a 31-year-old man named Hemlage boarded a women-only car.
Taking a train from Yolapet station, he found Levati alone in the cabin and approached him.
When he began to molest, Levati appealed to him to stop, saying, `I'm pregnant and I'm in the same boat as your sister.'
Despite her pleas, he dragged the pregnant woman to the car washroom and tried to rape her. As the resistance continued, he eventually broke his hand and pushed the pregnant woman off the running train.
After falling on the railroad tracks, she was taken to the hospital on residents' reports. He suffered fractures to his hands and legs and injured his head, but fortunately, his life was not affected. Unfortunately, the child in the womb was miscarried.
"I saw a man pushing her out of the train," said one witness.
Police analyzed CCTV footage and arrested the suspect at another train station.
The investigation found that he had a history of similar crimes in the past. He was investigated for sexually assaulting a female passenger on a train in 2022, and in April last year, he was arrested for killing a woman and released due to a lack of evidence. Police and authorities have stepped up train inspections to prevent men from entering the women's compartment.
