# Andhra Police rule out physical, sexual violence in Assam girl’s train death 2026-10-11T22:56:13+00:00 | India | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 3 independent outlets Andhra Pradesh police investigating the death of 21-year-old Assamese dancer Himashri Boro, whose body was found near railway tracks in Srikakulam district on 7 October, said the post-mortem report has ruled out physical and sexual violence. Boro had boarded the Kanyakumari-Dibrugarh Vivek Express at Visakhapatnam on 5 October to return home. Srikakulam Superintendent of Police KV Maheshwar Reddy said Boro boarded the train at the last minute and stood near the gate because the compartment was packed with over 100 passengers. He dismissed social media claims of harassment, saying Boro's messages to a friend only mentioned discomfort due to crowding. Police have sent her phone and viscera samples for forensic analysis. Inspector General of Police (Railways) B. Raja Kumari said police are trying to contact eyewitnesses and determine whether the death was an accidental fall or due to an altercation. Assam Police have formed a special team coordinating with Andhra authorities. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The three outlets present largely uniform factual reporting from police briefings, with no discernible slant differences. The Hindu provides additional details on the joint probe by Assam and Andhra police and RPF, and reports that senior RPF officials are investigating a Rail Madad complaint.
