The Government Railway Police (GRP) has laid hold of both the head and the body and has initiated an investigation. Police are treating it as a suicide, however, the family contended that the woman had a mental illness and had a condition known as sleepwalking.
Anshu, a resident of Kanshiram Nagar in the area of Majhola police station, Moradabad, was mentally retarded. Her father Mahipal Singh is a rickshaw puller. Liberal relatives said that she has a sleepwalking disorder. On Tuesday night, she was missing from the house. She was hit by the AC Express (12430) from New Delhi to Lucknow, near a place called Sirkoi Bhud.
The incident occurred around 2 to 2:30 AM leading to her death. Her head was caught in the engine and continued forward, except her torso remained there on the track. When they got the call, the police came out to respond and there were locals around. The family identified her by a tattoo on her hand.
