Mumbai: A day after a video of a man in the nude entering the women’s compartment of an AC local at Ghatkopar station went viral, an FIR was registered by the railway police on Tuesday. It turns out that home guards intercepted him after the incident and made him put on clothes, but let him go as they were unaware of what had happened earlier. The man had got into a CSMT-Kalyan AC train at 4.40 pm. Railway police sources said the man seems to be of unsound mind.
Police said the unidentified man had been lying down on the platform at Ghatkopar station, wearing a shirt and shorts. When the train pulled in, he hurriedly undressed and got into the women’s compartment. This led to shrieks from the women on board, and someone informed a ticket-checker who forced him to disembark in less than a minute after he had entered.
A railway police constable started checking each compartment to see if the man were still around before which he had been spotted by the home guards.
Footage from CCTVs showed the man, by then dressed, board another train bound for CSMT. He got off this train at Matunga, begged for money, bought some food, and boarded another train to CSMT. TNN
