A 35-year-old man was arrested for allegedly touching a woman inappropriately and trying to kiss her forcibly at a suburban railway station in Mumbai, a police official said on June 10.

The incident took place on platform number 4 of Western Railway's Khar station at around 12:50 pm on Thursday when the woman was waiting for a train, he said. "Alok Kanojia came from behind, touched her inappropriately and then tried to kiss her after holding her neck. Fellow commuters caught hold of him after she shouted. Kanojia hails from Jabalpur in Madhya Pradesh and is a pavement-dweller here," the official said.
