The assailant, who boarded the train at Kalyan, drove out the victim's grandson from the ladies' compartment, complaining that he was not eligible to travel in it owing to his gender. Imran, in his statement to the police, said that when the train entered Kalyan station, a man came into the compartment where he and Manki were sitting.
They were the only passengers in the compartment. The man walked up to them. Claiming that he was a police officer, he rapped Imran for travelling in the ladies' compartment. Intimidated, Imran got off and boarded the general compartment, leaving his grandmother alone.

Imran intimated the Government Railway Police officers, who reached the spot and sent Manki's body to the Rajawadi Hospital for a post mortem. During investigation, Imran informed the police that his grandmother had been carrying jewellery and cash, which were missing.
