The incident happened only days after commuters were alarmed by two previous violent incidents on Mumbai local trains, including an assault on two young people and a another altercation between groups.
A video of a brawl onboard a local train from Churchgate to Virar had also gone viral earlier. Passengers apparently were terrified when the event happened in a packed men’s section. In the video, commuters were seen fighting and kicking each other during a furious altercation. Although the precise cause of the conflict is still unknown, it was thought that congestion, space constraints, or inadvertent shoving could have been the initial cause. It was seen that other people were attempting to break up the altercation.
The frequent violent episodes among Mumbai residents have raised concerns about security protocols and how to avoid confrontations when travelling by train.
