Mumbai: A viral video from a Western Railway local train compartment has captured a man verbally abusing a female commuter and attempting to strike her with his trouser belt. The incident took place in a second class general compartment on Andheri GRP. Fellow passengers witnessed the altercation but remained passive, while one individual recorded the incident.
The male passenger berated the woman for sleeping on a seat when there was ample space available. Despite being warned, he returned and struck her with his belt. Police have identified the male commuter through video footage and CCTV, and are actively searching for him to register an FIR. They are confident of his arrest soon. This follows similar incidents of violence on trains, including the murder of college teacher Alok Kumar Singh by a fellow commuter in January, and the killing of a young man by another passenger in June.
