Trespassing on railway tracks poses threat of fatalities and while the Indian Railways keep warning commuters about the life-threatening consequences, many still ignore the warnings. In one such incident, a woman in Telangana narrowly escaped death after she was caught under a goods train. The incident happened at the Nawandgi Railway Station in Telangana.

In a video shared by X handle Aadhan Telugu, the woman can be seen lying on the railway tracks as a train passes above her. According to the post, the tribal woman was crossing the tracks to reach the platform when she noticed the train approaching her. However, instead of panicking, she lay in the middle of the tracks, let the train run over her, and got up after the train passed through.
