A 38-year-old software professional and her two teenage children were killed after being struck by a moving train on the MMTS line between Cherlapally and Ghatkesar on the outskirts of Hyderabad in the early hours of Saturday.

Police disclosed the woman was 38 and worked as a software professional, with a daughter in Class 12 and a son in Class 11. Families have been informed, and investigators are examining CCTV footage and other leads for context. This incident has rattled the local community and raised questions about safety near the MMTS corridor.
