Model Arrested for Razor Blade Attack on Train Staff; Actress Denies Involvement
On August 12, a 31-year-old Thane-based model, Antara Soham Banerjee, was arrested after allegedly attacking Railway Protection Force personnel and a ticket checker with a razor blade aboard the Aravali Express over a reserved seat dispute. She reportedly entered an AC coach with a sleeper-class ticket, refused to vacate a reserved seat, and became aggressive, leading to injuries and property damage. Several media outlets mistakenly linked the incident to television actress Antarra Banerjee, who has denied any involvement and condemned the misidentification, seeking corrections and legal action to protect her reputation.
