Bihar: Trainee nurse jumps off moving train to escape sexual assault

PATNA: A 22-year-old nursing student was seriously injured after she jumped off a speeding train to escape sexual assault in Samastipur late on Tuesday evening.
According to Samastipur GRP inspector Acchey Singh Yadav, the victim said four to six miscreants were about to make sexual assault on her by touching her inappropriately.
According to ECR chief public relations officer Birendra Kumar, the incident took place inside a coach of the Muzaffarpur-Howrah Jansadharan Express (15272) train near Korbadha railway crossing gate number 50 under Samastipur division of the East Central Railway (ECR). "She was found lying unconscious near the tracks from where she was immediately rushed to the divisional railway hospital at Samastipur with the help of local people and RPF," the Kumar said.
Samastipur RPF inspector B P Verma said the girl, a nursing student of a Muzaffarpur-based nursing college, was returning home to Begusarai by the express train when a few hooligans started passing lewd comments on her inside the coach.
"When she found herself surrounded by miscreants and no help coming from the co-passengers, she jumped off the running train to escape molestation," he said.
The girl was provided treatment at the railway hospital and later shifted to a private hospital.
