Woman Allegedly Abuses, Pulls Young Woman's Hand Over Train Seat
A video on the internet shows something unkind happening on a train in Mumbai.
In the video, a grown-up woman is seen saying mean words to a younger woman.
The younger woman was not feeling well and just wanted to sit down.
She had even gone to another station so she could get a seat on the train.
The older woman pulled the younger woman's hand and asked her to give up her seat.
There were other empty seats nearby, but the older woman still bothered her.
The younger woman put the video online and asked the railway company to take action.
Many people who saw the video said this kind of behavior is not acceptable.
The railway company, called Central Railway, had not yet responded about the incident.
A viral video shows a young woman allegedly being verbally abused and having her hand forcibly pulled by another woman over a seat on a Dombivli-bound local train in Mumbai.
The young woman said she was unwell and had traveled to Kopar station to board the Dombivli-bound local so she could get a seat during the journey.
She alleged the passenger singled her out despite several other seats being available in the compartment, hurling abuses and demanding she vacate the seat.
The victim shared the video on Instagram and tagged Central Railway's official social media account, seeking action against the alleged passenger.
