Railway police have arrested four persons from a mob of 50 that assaulted a ticket collector (TC) and vandalised the stationmasters' office at Khar railway station yesterday. The fracas was a result of an argument with the ticket collector over an expired railway pass by a commuter, said railway officials.
Following the incident, a case has been registered at Bandra GRP police station and four people have been detained in the case. According to railway officials, the incident occurred at 2.30 pm when ticket collector Swapnil Pawar (24), apprehended Ganesh Tandle (33), who was caught travelling with an expired railway pass on the foot over bridge.u00a0

They also physical attacked Pawar. The mob then proceeded to disrupt train services, and stopped the 2.58 Churchgate-bound local from leaving the station.
