Speaking on the matter, he said that initially four individuals were engaged in the altercation, while two of them got off at Thakurli station. However, as the altercation between the other two escalated, they got into physical violence.

“The two who got off at Kalyan received first aid there and were subsequently shifted to a hospital as required. After being taken to the hospital, it was found that one of them had sustained a head injury caused by a metal wristband… both individuals are currently in stable condition. There is no element of foul play or any other complication involved here,” he added.

According to reports, after receiving information about the scuffle, the Railway Protection Force (RPF) and the Government Railway Police (GRP) boarded the train at Kalyan station to inspect the situation.
