When 25-year-old Tabrez Asif Jethwa boarded the Ambernath-bound local from Dadar on Friday night, little did he know that he would end up getting shot and admitted to a hospital.

A driver by profession, Jethwa boarded the luggage compartment of the local train at 11.30 pm, just as the train was leaving the platform. “I was sitting down when four men entered the compartment at Vikhroli station. One of them hit my foot. I asked him to be careful. That’s when the fight started,” said Jethwa, who is undergoing treatment at Sion Hospital and is now out of danger.
