A young woman caused panic by driving her car along a railway track near Hyderabad on Thursday morning. According to reports, she drove for nearly seven kilometers through the Rangareddy district, disrupting train services for over two hours.
The incident began when she reached the Kondakal level crossing and, instead of crossing the railway gate, veered onto the tracks. This shocked bystanders and created chaos. At Nagulapalli, locals tried to stop her, but she reportedly threatened them with a knife before speeding away.
Her reckless drive continued all the way to Shankarpalli, where an oncoming train was forced to make an emergency stop after the loco pilot spotted the car, narrowly preventing a serious accident. Railway staff, along with locals, eventually stopped the car and overpowered the driver.
Local police rushed to the scene and took the woman into custody. She was identified as Ravika Soni, a native of Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, who had been working as a software engineer in Hyderabad. Investigations revealed that she had recently lost her job and was reportedly battling depression.
Police officials are looking into her motive and are also investigating whether she pulled this stunt to make social media content. Ravika was sent for a medical examination, and her family has been informed. Due to this incident, train services between Hyderabad and Bengaluru were severely affected, with several trains delayed at nearby stations.
