Vasai Road, November 12, 2026: Maharashtra Government Railway Police (GRP) have arrested a 53-year-old man for allegedly molesting a 20-year-old woman and pushing her onto the tracks at Naigaon railway station, resulting in severe injuries that required her left arm to be amputated.
The incident took place on November 4, 2026, at around 7:04 pm on Platform No. 1 (KM 47/10-11) of Naigaon railway station. An unidentified young woman was found critically injured, bleeding from a head wound, with her left arm severed at the elbow.
On-duty station staff, Railway Protection Force (RPF) and GRP personnel rushed to the spot and immediately shifted her by ambulance to Janseva Hospital in Vasai for emergency medical care. Initially, authorities suspected the incident to be a routine train accident.
Victim Identifies Accused In Statement
The case took a crucial turn on November 6, 2026, when the victim, subsequently identified as Sofia Aslam Khan, aged 20, gave a detailed statement to the GRP while undergoing treatment at Cooper Municipal General Hospital in Mumbai.
According to the victim's statement, she was travelling on a local train from Borivali to Naigaon when an unknown man, estimated to be around 50 years old, semi-bald, wearing a chocolate-coloured shirt and black trousers, and carrying a backpack, harassed and molested her.
Around 7:15 pm, when she deboarded at Naigaon station and confronted him over his behaviour, the accused allegedly shoved her aggressively. The impact caused her to fall through the gap between the platform and the train, directly onto the railway tracks as the local train moved, running over and severing her left arm.
