After wrapping up their work on Thursday evening, they came to CSMT to board a train for going home. The victim’s friend’s boyfriend turned up on the platform and the couple had an altercation. The victim intervened in an attempt to pacify them.
Her friend’s boyfriend grabbed her hand and slapped her, according to the complaint. After he left, the victim decided to lodge a complaint. She first went to the MRA Marg police station where officers directed her to CSMT GRP.

The woman had an unconfirmed ticket and the TC offered her his berth to sit. When she fell asleep on the berth, he allegedly slept next to her, according to her complaint.
