On Friday evening, a scuffle erupted at Kandivali railway station after a woman passenger refused to pay a fine to the chief ticket examiner, Priya Ambawade. The incident occurred around 7.30 pm on Platform No. 1 near a railway canteen. Ambawade, a 49-year-old resident of Goregaon East, was checking passengers' tickets when the woman produced an expired railway pass.
Ambawade asked the woman to pay a fine of ₹510, but the woman claimed her pass had expired only a day earlier and pleaded for leniency. The woman allegedly struck Ambawade on her left hand and tried to flee, leading to a physical altercation. Both fell to the ground, and Ambawade held the woman's bag to prevent her from running away.
The woman allegedly returned with her husband, verbally abusing and threatening Ambawade. The GRP registered cross-FIRs against the woman and Ambawade under Section 351 (criminal intimidation) and other relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
