Cross-FIRs Filed After Scuffle Over Ticket Fine at Kandivali Railway Station
A scuffle occurred at Mumbai's Kandivali railway station when a woman passenger with an expired or no valid ticket tried to evade a fine during a ticket inspection. The confrontation led to the passenger falling and her clothes tearing, while the chief ticket inspector was also injured. The passenger was taken to the ticket office, but was later forcibly removed by companions, causing a crowd to gather and accuse the inspector of misconduct. Cross-FIRs were filed against both the passenger and the inspector, with police and railway forces intervening to restore order.
