CHALAKUDY: A woman has filed a complaint in the incident of the death of a man due to the negligence of the railways. Surya, a native of Kayamkulam, has filed a complaint with the railway police regarding the death of Sreejith (26), the son of Subran, a native of Kodassery.

The doctor who was travelling with Sreejith had confirmed that he had suffered a heart attack. The doctor had advised him to be taken to the hospital as soon as possible, but the TTR did not comply.

However, by the time the ambulance arrived after a long time, Sreejith had breathed his last. The woman filed a complaint alleging serious negligence on the part of the railways.
