VASAI: A 20-year-old woman lost her left arm after she was allegedly molested and pushed off a local train at Naigaon railway station on November 4. The Bhayandar Railway Police have arrested a 53-year-old man after examining CCTV footage and booked him for attempted murder.
Hirmukhe, who was travelling in the same compartment, allegedly began molesting her, according to police. “We examined CCTV footage from various locations and managed to identify and arrest the accused, who had covered his face with a handkerchief,” said Ganpat Tumbada, senior police inspector of Bhayandar Railway Police Station. When she objected and confronted him, an argument broke out. The altercation continued after the train arrived at Naigaon station, where the accused allegedly pushed her off the train, causing her to fall into the gap between two coaches. The accused allegedly fled after the incident, covering his face with a handkerchief. However, railway police examined CCTV footage from multiple locations, identified him and arrested him. Police have registered a case of molestation and attempted murder against Hirmukhe.
On November 4, she was travelling from Borivli to Virar by local train in the evening. The victim, Supriya Shinde, is married and lives in Naigaon. As the train was crowded, she mistakenly boarded the compartment reserved for persons with disabilities.
