“Going by the features and two tattoos on his hands, we could confirm that he was the same person who raped,” keyman Kumar said.
Though the 30-year-old rape-and-murder suspect managed to evade electronic surveillance and police vigil for almost a week, he finally landed in the eyes of a circumspect railway keyman and two farmers near Naskhal railway station in Janagoan district in Hyderabad on Thursday morning. Minutes later he allegedly ended his life by ‘jumping’ in front of a moving train.
While the eyewitnesses recapitulated that upon seeing them Pallakonda Raju ran away and hid in the bushes, and later he came running towards the Konark Express and offered himself to be run over. All this happened in a split second.
Before they could reconcile what was happening, all that they could see on the track after the train left was a smashed head, while the body was found intact without any mutilation. The incident took place around 8.40 a.m.
