KOLKATA: A 24-year-old woman was allegedly molested by a youth in a moving train near Dum Dum railway station on Friday evening. The woman, who started Facebook live on her smartphone during the incident, lodged a complaint with Dum Dum GRP on Saturday with the footage of the video she had recorded.
Police are looking for the accused. But no one has been arrested in this connection yet.
According to the complaint, the woman, a resident of New Alipore and a tattoo artist, had boarded the Sealdah-bound Down Shantipur Local from Fulia around 6.35pm.
“When the train left Dum Dum station the ladies’ compartment was empty and I was alone. A youth got into the running train and tried to touch me. I pushed him away, but he persisted. I took out my cell phone and started Facebook live. He got off while the train was entering Sealdah station,” she said. A case has been registered under IPC section 354.
