Three bodies in as many months: Bengaluru railway stations’ vulnerability exposed under ‘serial killer’ scare

The discovery of three women’s bodies at Bengaluru railway stations in as many months has exposed the insufficiency of security at the stations.

Although it remains unclear how the perpetrators managed to transport the bodies into the stations, sources within the Karnataka Railway Police stated that numerous stations lacked essential security equipment, including metal detectors and baggage scanners.

“Even prominent railway stations that see heavy footfall do not have (security),” pointed out a RPF official, who did not want to be named.
