Woman, two young sons run over by train near Arakkonam railway station

A 27-year-old woman named K. Valli and her two young sons, aged 7 and 3, were struck and killed by a train near Arakkonam railway station in Ranipet district on August 30, 2026. The incident occurred around 9 a.m. when the family was crossing the tracks while walking alongside the Chennai Central Suburban – Tiruchanur MEMU train heading toward Tiruttani. Police identified the victims and noted that Valli and her husband, S. Kottaiyah, had previously lived in Kancheepuram, where they made flat grinding stones for household use. Kottaiyah had passed away several months earlier due to illness, leaving Valli struggling financially to support the family. Relatives from Kancheepuram were notified and were traveling to the Government Taluk Hospital in Arakkonam for the post-mortem examination of the deceased. Authorities have filed a case and are investigating the incident, including exploring a potential suicide angle.
