Video of fight between women passengers on Mumbai local train goes viral
A video of a fight that broke out between women passengers near the door of a moving Mumbai local train has gone viral following which the police has launched a probe into the matter, officials said.
An official confirmed that the fight between railway commuters occurred on a Western Railway's special local train.

After verification, the Railway Police confirmed that the incident actually took place at Bhayandar station on a Ladies Special local train arriving at 7:32 pm.
According to the police, the on-duty Station Master at Bhayandar informed head constable Nagargoje about the incident. Upon reaching the spot, Railway Police found that the women involved in the altercation had already been deboarded from the train by RPF and MSF personnel.
The police brought both women -- Jyoti Ayodhya Prasad Singh and Kavita Ramchandra Medadkar -- to the Bhayandar Railway Police Post, where they were questioned.
The women stated that there was a verbal argument and a minor scuffle between them, but neither of them filed a written or oral complaint against the other. Both parties agreed to resolve the matter mutually.
"The officials recorded the statements related to the incident," an official said.
