Eight months pregnant Seema Gupta was assaulted by a handicapped female
passenger for traveling in a compartment reserved for the physically
disabled people on the Virar-bound local on December 5.
25-year old Seema, a physiotherapist by profession, boarded Virar-bound train from Bandra station for work.
The victim alleged she was standing inside the compartment when a lady asked her to stand properly as she was taking support of the seat after experiencing some pain.
The same lady first punched Seema and then slapped her after getting up from her seat. Seema collapsed after the slap.
When Seema protested, the handicapped lady told her she was not supposed to travel in a coach reserved for the handicapped.
The co-passengers of the compartment informed the railway police who turned up and took Seema with them.
She was given medical attention. The complaint has been forwarded to Bandra Police Station.
