Kerala woman who died jumping in front of train with kids: Last phone call reveals loan repayment

Kottayam: A newly surfaced phone conversation between Shiny, who tragically ended her life along with her children by jumping in front of a train in Ettumanoor, and Karinkunnam Kudumbashree president Usha reveals the financial struggles she was facing.

During her conversation, Shiny expressed her inability to repay a Kudumbashree loan taken in her name, stating that it was taken for her husband and he had refused to give the amount.

Usha had asked, "It's been two months, won’t you repay the loan?" to which Shiny responded, "There is an ongoing divorce case, and my husband, Noby Luckose, told me to wait until it is resolved." She also mentioned feeling helpless in the situation.

It was revealed that the loan had been availed from Kudumbashree in Shiny’s name by her in-laws, but they had not repaid it. Noby had reportedly told her he would only provide the money after their divorce case was settled.

Shiny (42) and daughters Aleena (11) and Evan (10) died by jumping in front of a train at Parolickal near Ettumanoor last Friday. The loco pilot immediately informed Ettumanoor station, and the police recovered the mutilated bodies from the tracks. Meanwhile, a case has been registered against Noby.
