Four commuters were injured in separate instances of stone pelting on Monday on Central Railway locals. All the incidents took place in the Sion-Vikhroli belt. Kurla GRP has recorded FIRs in two of the four cases under the Indian Railways Act. "It felt like an electric shock or a mild explosion. The pain was intense," stated a Mumbra resident who injured his nose, lips and lost two teeth after being hit by a stone. "After getting hit, I started to feel dizzy. My superior, who was travelling with me, held me. I was very fortunate to not have fallen off the train and lost my life," he added.

A salesperson at a shop, the victim was headed home on Monday evening with his superior when the incident took place. "I was careful to stand a little away from the footboard and there were people standing in front of me as well. The stone hit me soon after the train left Sion station. There is no fencing in the area and the miscreants could have slipped out easily," he added.
