In the video, the man is seen trying to overpower a woman and beat her, while she tries to fight back. In her defence, a woman tries to run and comes dangerously close to the local train’s door which was open.

According to report, the GRPF also said that a co-passenger, who shot the video, boarded the local train from Thane station at around 11 pm on Thursday, when the man “started cruelly assaulting” a woman.

The accused identified as Rafique Shaikh was arrested. Since she didn’t listen to him, he molested and tried strangling her. He even pulled her hair and dragged her.

A Passenger who witnessed it said,

“Being 90% disabled could not do much to help as there was a threat to my life if I intervened. I asked the security person, who was in the ladies compartment, to pull the emergency alarm but he did not respond.”

The video of the incident is much more disturbing :

This incident is indeed a dark spot for the Indian society. We must collectively raise our voice against such things.
