Woman, 20, Loses Arm After Being Molested and Pushed From Mumbai Local Train; Man, 53, Arrested
Indian railway police said a 20-year-old woman riding a Mumbai suburban train on the evening of November 4 was molested by a male passenger and, after resisting and confronting him, was pushed from the train. Her left arm was run over by the wheels and had to be amputated. Police have arrested a 53-year-old man, registering a case of attempted murder and molestation.
According to the Bhayandar Railway Police, the victim, Supriya Shinde, was traveling from Borivli to Virar on an evening rush-hour train and, because of the crowding, had boarded a compartment reserved for passengers with disabilities. A man in the same compartment, Jitendra Hirmukhe, allegedly molested her. When the train reached Naigaon station, she confronted him and struck him with her slipper. He then allegedly pushed her, and she fell into the gap between two coaches. As the train began to move, her left arm was run over.
She was taken to Cooper Hospital, where doctors amputated her left arm below the elbow. She also suffered a head injury that required 16 stitches. Police said investigators identified the suspect from CCTV footage from several locations and arrested Hirmukhe. The investigation is continuing.
