A Mumbai-based woman lost her left arm after she was allegedly molested and pushed off a local train at Naigaon railway station, police said on Thursday (November 12, 2026).
The incident took place on November 4, 2026, after the 20-year-old woman confronted the 53-year-old man for molesting her.
Police arrested the accused, identified as Jitendra Hirmukhe, after examining CCTV footage on November 9 and booked him under the sections related to attempted murder.
According to the survivor, while she was travelling from Borivali to Virar, the accused behaved inappropriately. When she confronted him, an argument broke out between them, and the accused allegedly pushed her, causing her to fall into the gap between two coaches.
βMy left arm came under the trainβs wheels and was injured near the elbow,β she said in a video that went viral online.
The woman was rescued with help from railway personnel and fellow passengers, and she was rushed to receive medical treatment.
