Infosys techie Swathi S took a train to her workplace from the Nungambakkam railway station in Chennai every morning.
On Friday, the 24-year-old bled to death on the platform as commuters who watched a man attack her with a sickle left by the next train.
One of her shocked friends said: "When I heard the news, I thought it can't be her. But when I saw her photo in an article on Facebook, I realized it was her. She used to take this train every morning."
The police say Swathi had been stalked for months by a man near her workplace, 60 km from Chennai.
At around 6.45 am, witnesses saw a young man approaching her while she was waiting for her train. The two were seen having a heated argument and then the man suddenly pulled out a sickle from his bag and lunged at her. Struck in her neck and face, Swathi collapsed.
