A 37-year-old man from Dhule was hit by a train at Matunga Road, after he allegedly tried to throttle his lover. He had come to holiday with her in Mumbai. The two had met when the woman approached the man for a loan. They gradually grew closer and the woman never repaid the loan, a Times of India report read.

A police officer said the two arrived in the city from Dhule and spent time together at Bandra. The man told her he would send her home alone in a train. The couple boarded a train at Bandra and got off at Matunga. "The man said they would have to walk along the tracks to reach Dadar Terminus, for a long-distance train to go home. The woman had never been to Mumbai before. CCTV footage from the platform shows the two walking together," the police were quoted in the report as saying.
