The accused killed a woman

According to the police, on the evening of 23 November 2024, Ramanamma (46 years), a resident of Torangal police station area of ​​​​Ballari district of Karnataka, boarded train number 07335 Belgaum-Manuguru Special Express to go to her daughter's house in Hyderabad. By mistake, she entered the Divyang coach instead of the women's coach. At around 8:00 pm, the accused Rahul boarded the same coach from Bellary station. Ramanamma, sitting on the lower berth, asked the accused why he boarded the women's coach. The accused replied that he would get down at the next station.
