A CCTV grab shows the man dragging the woman toward the local
MUMBAI: A TYBSc student had a lucky escape after a 24-year-old man, whose advances she had repeatedly rejected, tried to push her under a running train at Khar station on Friday night. When he couldn’t succeed in pushing her into the gap between the rake and the platform, the man fled. The incident was captured on CCTVs. The accused was tracked down and arrested within 12 hours. The victim was hospitalised and received 12 stitches for injuries on her forehead.
Sumedh Jadhav, the accused, lives in Wadala. He met the victim in 2018 when they worked together. The woman, who lives with her parents in Khar, has been juggling work alongside studies for a few years. Jadhav tried to get close to her but she did not reciprocate. Even after she moved on to another job, he pursued her.
