Three days after searching for a 19-year-old who had harassed a woman passenger on a Panvel-bound local train, the CSMT Government Railway Police (GRP) arrested him from Masjid area on Tuesday. After being produced before the railway court, accused Iqbal Shaikh was sentenced to 10 days of imprisonment. According to the police, they started investigating the matter after receiving a complaint from Jitesh Utekar, an engineer, on September 7.

In his complaint, Utekar said, "After I boarded a 2.42 pm Panvel-bound train from CSMT railway station, I heard a lot of commotion in the first class compartment. When I tried to find out what the problem was, I spotted a man zipping his pants while sitting beside a woman. The woman looked horrified. When I asked her what the issue was, she said the man was trying to do something wrong with her."
