A shocking incident occurred on July 4, 2025, between Bhurkunda and Patratu railway stations in Jharkhand. A 25-year-old woman, Khushboo Kumari, from Devaria in Uttar Pradesh, was allegedly pushed out of the Varanasi Express by her husband. The harrowing incident left Khushboo with injuries after she landed in a water-filled ditch[1][2][3][4].
Khushboo was rescued by the Railways Protection Force (RPF) and initially admitted to a local government hospital before being referred to the Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) in Ranchi for further treatment[1][2][4]. The woman's condition is currently stable, but she is still undergoing treatment[1].
The investigation into this alarming incident is ongoing, with the police registering a case and launching an inquiry to determine the exact cause. Khushboo alleged that her husband intentionally pushed her off the speeding train[2].
The incident unfolded on Tuesday when Khushboo and her husband boarded the Varanasi Express from Barkakana. Khushboo was spotted in a ditch by a railway lineman, who immediately informed the RPF in Patratu[1].
The Officer-in-Charge of GRP of Barkakana, Manohar Barla, is currently involved in the investigation[5]. The GRP is conducting a thorough probe into the matter to establish the circumstances surrounding this tragic event.
This incident serves as a grim reminder of the need for stricter measures to ensure the safety and security of passengers on Indian railways. The investigation remains ongoing to clarify the circumstances of this alarming incident[1][2].
