Mumbai Local Horror: Churchgate-Virar Ladies Special Turns Violent as Woman Bleeds in Fight; Video Goes Viral

In another news related to the Mumbai local train, chaos erupted aboard a Churchgate-Virar Ladies Special train when a violent altercation broke out between two women in the women's compartment, leaving one of them with a serious head injury. The disturbing incident, captured on video and now widely circulated on social media, shows the women exchanging heated insults before the confrontation turned physical.

The incident took place during peak hours, a time when the trains are typically packed with women commuting to work and school. The fight reportedly escalated quickly, involving hair-pulling, slapping, and aggressive shoving near the train's entrance. In the viral footage, a few fellow passengers can be seen trying to intervene and break up the scuffle.

While the exact cause of the dispute remains unclear, regular commuters think the fight might have started because of seating or personal space, common flashpoints in overcrowded local trains.

Western Railway has confirmed that the incident occurred on a designated Ladies Special local train running from Churchgate to Virar. Authorities are currently investigating the matter to determine the circumstances and any necessary action.
