‘Some Boys Were Troubling Me’: Assam Student Missing From Train Found Dead In Andhra Pradesh

A 20-year-old female student from Assam, Himashree Boro, vanished while travelling on the Dibrugarh Vivek Express from Visakhapatnam to Guwahati. Her family informed police she had travelled to Visakhapatnam with an Assam dance team for an event on September 30 and was returning home. On October 5, Himashree boarded the train in S2 coach near 11:50 pm.

At around 2:39 am on October 6, she called a friend and expressed fear that "some boys were troubling" her before the call was disconnected and her phone was switched off. The friend reported this to Guwahati's Government Railway Police, who launched a search and later found her belongings in the same coach but could not locate her.

When her body was discovered near the tracks in Andhra Pradesh, police confirmed it belonged to Himashree. Her mother said she feared the crowded compartment, being the only female passenger. The circumstances of her death are under investigation.
