Mumbai: A shocking incident occurred at Mumbai’s Nalasopara station, where a ticket collector (TC) was attacked by a passenger with a hockey stick. According to officials, the altercation began when the 29-year-old TC, identified as Vijay Kumar, found the passenger travelling in a first-class coach without a valid ticket. The TC asked the passenger to pay a fine of Rs 345, but upon learning that the passenger was a student and had less money, the TC charged him only Rs 150.
The TC resumed his duties after issuing the fine, but shortly after, the accused returned with a hockey stick and attacked him, leaving the TC with head and ear injuries. Following a complaint by the TC, the Government Railway Police (GRP) filed an FIR against the unknown assailant under sections 121(2) and 132 of the IPC. The GRP is actively searching for the attacker.
