A 22-year-old woman suffered the loss of her left arm after being pushed from a moving local train at Naigaon station in Mumbai. The victim was traveling from Borivali to Virar when the incident occurred, following a dispute over alleged molestation.
According to railway police, the accused, who is a resident of Naigaon, began acting inappropriately and attempting to touch the woman while the train was in transit. When the woman protested and threw her slipper at the man, a verbal altercation ensued. Passengers attempted to intervene, but the situation escalated as the train approached Naigaon station.
Police reported that the man responded by throwing his own slipper at the victim. As the train came to a stop at the station, the man pushed the woman out, causing her to fall through the gap between two carriages. In her attempt to climb back onto the platform, the train began to move, trapping her left arm under the wheels. The injury was severe enough to necessitate an amputation from the elbow, and the victim also sustained additional injuries, including head trauma.
Following the attack, the accused fled the scene but was later taken into custody by authorities. Railway police have registered a case under Sections 74, 117(2), and 352 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). An investigation into the incident is currently underway.
