Two medical representatives have been arrested for allegedly attempting to molest a woman on board a Chennai-bound train.

The incident occurred on Sunday night on the Ernakulam-Chennai Suvidha Express soon after the train left Palakkad junction, police said.

At around midnight, the 23-year-old woman raised an alarm that the duo, who were occupying the berths opposite her, had tried to molest her, they said.

The co-passengers, who woke up on hearing her cries, caught the two men, beat them up and handed them over to railway police after the train reached Coimbatore station, police said.
