Mumbai police recorded the statement of a second eyewitness on Saturday concerning the tragic death of a passenger allegedly shoved from a moving local train. The funeral of 62-year-old Cajetan Denis Peris took place at Sacred Heart Church in Santacruz on the same day. The second eyewitness is deaf and mute, providing his account in written form, corroborating the sequence of events from the initial witness.
According to the Government Railway Police, both witnesses agreed on the chronology of events. The accused, 48-year-old Amajad Safriddin Shaikh, allegedly boarded the local train at Lower Parel station at approximately 1:07 pm, while Peris boarded at Mahim. Following their boarding, a dispute ensued when Peris questioned the accused about occupying a seat reserved for persons with disabilities.
This disagreement escalated into a scuffle near the train door, resulting in Peris being pushed out of the moving train. Shaikh is currently held in police custody.
