Commuters at Palghar station who had found their vehicles parked in the earmarked pay and park lot damaged and smeared with grease in the past two-three days, had alleged that it could be a mischief by railway pay and park contractors to earn more revenue. But investigations have found that it was actually an act by an insane person. Nearly 20 vehicles were greased and damaged in the lot.

“Many commuters had complained about the grease put on their bikes and other two wheelers and damage to them, and levelled wild allegations. An immediate and thorough inquiry by the Western Railway found that it was the act of an insane person who used to frequent the premises,” a official said.
