A train journey of about four hours from Mumbai to Pune turned into a harrowing experience for around 126 passengers, including a 71-year-old diabetic man, after heavy rainfall led to a landslide near Monkey Hill railway station.

Sharukh Irani, who had come to Mumbai for some personal work, boarded Deccan Queen Express around 9.30 pm on Saturday after almost four-and-a-half-hour delay due to heavy rainfall in city. The train, however, could not reach its destination due to a landslide near Monkey Hill railway station. The passengers were brought back to Kalyan, from where they boarded another train but still could not reach Pune till late afternoon.
