A Mumbai man molested and then tried to strangle a woman he knows while they were both traveling on a local train in the city last night. A graphic video of the incident, which took place in the moving train’s handicapped compartment, has since been widely viewed on social media.
The couple were friends and had an altercation in a coach meant for handicap people of a CST-bound train between Kalyan and Dadar between 11pm and 11.22 pm. According to the Government Railway Police Force (GRPF), the woman and the assailant were not strangers and were not differently-abled. A few reports claimed that the duo was a married couple, however, Firstpost could not independently verify the veracity of the claims.
The GRPF also said that a co-passenger, who shot the video, boarded the local train from Thane station at around 11 pm on Thursday, when the man “started cruelly assaulting” a woman.
According to the eyewitness, who shot the video, there was a constable in the next coach but he was unable to intervene as the train was moving and the coaches were separated by a barricade.
