MUMBAI: An unemployed man, who used to work as a watchman in Pune, has been arrested for assaulting a woman railway passenger.
On Sunday, around 4pm, the woman boarded the Bengaluru-CSMT Udyan Express from Pune to travel to Mumbai, where she had joined duty a week ago. She stays with relatives in Mumbai.
Around 8.27pm, the train halted at Dadar station. She was alone in the ladies’ coach when a balding man in his mid-thirties-later identified as Chaudhary-got in.
