Mumbai Shocker: BEST Employee Falls on Railway Tracks After Being Punched During Argument at Sion Station, Gets Crushed by Local Train (Disturbing Video)

Mumbai, August 17: A tragic incident unfolded at Mumbai's Sion station, where a 26-year-old man lost his life after being pushed onto the railway tracks during an altercation. The victim, Dinesh Devrao Rathod, an employee of Maharashtra’s State Transport (ST) corporation, was allegedly assaulted by Avinash Mane (31) amidst a heated argument. Avinash's wife, Sheetal Mane (30), was also involved in the dispute. Both Avinash and Sheetal have since been apprehended by the Dadar Government Reserve Police (GRP) Crime Branch, facing charges of culpable homicide not amounting to murder. A video of the incident also surfaced online.

According to multiple reports, Sheetal and her husband Avinash, residents of Sangam Vihar, reportedly engaged in a dispute with Rathod. Sheetal, waiting at the platform's Matunga end, believed Rathod intentionally brushed past her. Enraged, she struck him with her umbrella. Avinash, witnessing the altercation between his wife and Rathod, intervened and verbally confronted Rathod. However, Avinash's anger escalated, leading him to deliver a forceful punch to Rathod, causing him to lose his balance and fall onto the railway track. Mumbai Shocker: Driver Brings 20-Year-Old Businesswoman to Isolated Place on Mumbai-Goa Highway, Molests Her Inside Cab; Investigation Launched.
