NAVI MUMBAI, Dec. 21 -- Eighteen-year-old Shweta Mahadik's routine commute from her college to her home turned into a nightmare on Saturday as she was pushed out of a moving local train. The incident occurred after she confronted a male commuter for travelling in the coach reserved for women. The man, nabbed at Khandeshwar railway station after commuters alerted the Government Railway Police (GRP), has been identified as Sheikh Akhtar Nawaz. Police say he is likely a homeless man. Nawaz has been arrested and charged under Section 109 (attempt to murder) of the BNS and Sections 162 and 138 of the Indian Railways Act. Police said the incident took place at around 8am on Thursday. Shweta, a third-year civil engineering student at a Kharghar engineering institute, was travelling with a friend to college. After buying tickets for Kharghar, the two girls boarded a Panvel-Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus local from platform 3 at Panvel. They were standing near the door of the ladies' coach, when a man, around 50 years old, entered the compartment, triggering objections from women commuters. When told to alight, an argument broke out. Moments after the train started pulling out of the station, the man allegedly approached Shweta from behind and pushed her out of the moving train. Shweta fell onto the railway tracks and sustained injuries to her head, waist and hand, police said. Railway workers rushed to her aid after hearing her calls for help. Women commuters helped her reach a nearby location on a two-wheeler, where she contacted her father, an autorickshaw driver. "I was at home when I received the call. It was very scary to hear my daughter weep, saying she had fallen from a train. I rushed across in my auto to pick her up. I felt a sense of relief only after I saw her walking," recalls Sanjay Mahadik. Sanjay says his daughter was in shock and couldn't say what had led to her fall. "It was her friend who was with her in the compartment who later said that a mentally unstable man had pushed her," he said. Shweta, still shaken from the incident, was first taken to the sub-district hospital in Panvel, where doctors took X-rays. As a CT scan facility was unavailable, she was referred to MGM Hospital in Kalamboli. She and her father later approached the Panvel Railway Police Station, where she lodged a complaint. Preliminary investigation suggests that Nawaz may be mentally unstable, which may have prompted him to push Shweta. A local court has remanded him to three days' police custody,...
