MUMBAI: A transgender person has been arrested for allegedly assaulting a woman on a moving local train, for molesting her and issuing rape threats. Police said the accused, Prafulla Panchal, 23, was drunk.
On Wednesday night, the complainant had boarded a Virar-bound local at Andheri station. She stood in the passage of a first class ladies compartment. Around 10.15 pm, when the train reached Goregaon station, Panchal got in and sat in the passage, his legs spread out. After a while, the complainant told Panchal to sit properly as other commuters were finding it difficult to board and alight.
