Woman Found Dead After Falling Through Gap at Chennai's Mylapore MRTS StationPreviousNext

The decomposed body of 55-year-old Vijaya was found on the ground floor of Chennai's Mylapore MRTS station four days after she went missing. Police investigations suggest she may have accidentally fallen through an opening in an abandoned second-floor room while trying to reach the toilet. A post-mortem revealed rib and spinal fractures, with death caused by a blood clot near the heart. Authorities are investigating safety measures at the station following the incident.
