Thane railway police arrested a man who was allegedly responsible for a commuter falling off a moving train between Kalwa and Mumbra stations on June 13.

The victim was struck by a stick with a hook, causing her to fall off the train. When the railway police found her, all her belonging were missing.

“Pachya Bolandiya alias Houshi, 32, was arrested by a police team of ACP PV Sardar from Retti Bunder area in Mumbra.

Bolandiya was booked under Section 152 (maliciously hurting or attempting to hurt persons travelling by the railway), Indian Railway Act, as well as sections 427 (mischief causing damage) and 338 (causing grievous hurt by endangering life or personal safety of others) IPC.

He has been remanded to police custody till June 23 by the Kalyan railway court on Monday evening,” said a police officer of the Thane railway police station.

The incident took place on the evening of July 13. Diva resident, Jaishree Deepak Tribhuvan, 27, boarded the ladies compartment of the Kalyan-bound slow local from Thane. As the compartment was crowded, she was standing near the door.

An object was hurled at her from outside and it hit her when the train was approaching the tunnel between Kalwa and Mumbra stations. She then fell from the moving train.

Realising what happened, the other woman passengers pulled the emergency chain to stop the train. But it did not stop and when the train stopped at Mumbra station, few passengers informed the Mumbra station master about the incident.

Accordingly,  railway police personnel rushed to the spot and found that the victim was lying unconscious at the spot. It was noted that her belongings were missing.

The police took the victim, who sustained injuries on her head and forehead, to Thane civil hospital for treatment. Later, she was shifted to JJ Hospital and then moved to KEM Hospital where she is undergoing treatment, said the officer.
