Blood started oozing from the head of the one of the women during the fight, which took place dangerously close to the door while the train was in motion. One woman could be seen trying to shut the compartment’s door to keep the two from falling off in the melee.
The incident took place in the ladies special suburban train that arrived at Bhayander station at 7:32pm on June 17, a WR spokesperson said, adding that the duo did not submit complaints to police.
“By the time the railway police arrived, the duo had been taken off the train by Railway Protection Force (RPF) and Maharashtra Security Force (MSF) personnel. They were taken to Bhayander railway police post for inquiry,” the spokesperson said.
The police said the two women, from Naigaon East and Virar East in Palghar district, were allowed to go after their statements were recorded since neither wished to submit an official complaint. PTI KK BNM
