Why Indian Railways is testing a ‘dehumidifier’ in an electric train engine
Indian woman Malaika Chitre, 24, and her friend Navam Kaul, also 24, tragically lost their lives on Sunday morning at the Spring Street subway station in Lower Manhattan. The two, recent Rutgers University graduates who had just started their careers, were found on the tracks. According to a New York Post report citing law-enforcement sources, Chitre appears to have attempted to rescue Kaul, who had fallen onto the tracks.
Their final moments together were captured on video, showing them laughing and pulling each other towards safety before the train struck them. Both were known to be from South Asian communities in New Jersey and had been close friends since graduating from Rutgers in 2024. The train operator tried to stop the train but was unable to prevent the collision.
No alcohol or drugs were suspected to be involved, though investigators are exploring all possibilities. No suicide note was found, and it is unclear if the deaths were intentional.
