A woman was found dead under suspicious circumstances at Balugaon Railway Station in Khordha district, Odisha, on Monday.

The deceased, whose identity remains unknown, was reportedly waiting on platform No. 2 to board a train when her health suddenly deteriorated. She was discovered lying on a stainless steel bench.

Upon noticing her critical condition, several bystanders alerted the Railway Protection Force (RPF), who promptly transported her to Balugaon Hospital for emergency treatment. Sadly, medical personnel pronounced her dead upon arrival.

The specific cause of her death has yet to be determined, and the RPF has informed the local Government Railway Police (GRP) regarding the incident.

The GRP has since opened an investigation and registered a case. They have sent the woman’s body for a postmortem to establish the cause of death. Efforts are underway to identify the woman, believed to be aged between 60 and 65, in order to notify her family.
