Victims on Thane-bound train say they were caught off guard when some powder-like substance was flung at them, making them lose their grip and fall off
At least one person died and seven others were reported injured until the time of going to press. These victims were travelling in a slow Thane-bound local. Railway officials have surmised that some miscreants in a CST-bound train moving on an adjacent track threw some sort of a powder – presumably gulal - at them, which led to the incident.
Sources said officials would question inhabitants of slums in the area, which these miscreants could be from. The incident occurred around 7.45 pm, when commuters are wont to hang onto rods and footboards on the trans on their way back home.u00a0
