A video of some women fighting over crushed 'chakli', a popular snack made of rice flour, at a Mumbai local train has gone viral on social media. The argument started after two women mistakenly sat on an elderly woman's handbag that had the 'chakli'. The elderly pointed out to the women how they "damaged" her food, leading to a verbal spat. In the video, two women can be seen asking the elderly to not "misbehave".
"If it's your chakli, isn't it your responsibility, aunty. What is cracked? Does that give you the right to misbehave," a woman said. The senior citizen reportedly asked the two women to pay her Rs 500 for the damage.
Videos of spat in local trains in Mumbai and Delhi Metro have become common. Recently, a 16-year-old boy allegedly stabbed a man to death at a railway station after a fight with him over a seat on a local train in Mumbai. The Kurla railway police on Wednesday detained the teenager and arrested his elder brother in connection with the attack that took place at the Central Railway's Ghatkopar station on November 15.
According to the police, Ankush Bhagwan Bhalerao boarded a Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus-bound fast train from Titwala on November 14.
A heated argument broke out between Ankush and the minor over a seat, and he slapped the boy. The police detained the minor and arrested his brother, who helped him conceal evidence, the official said.
During interrogation, the minor confessed to the murder, revealing he hid the knife on the roof of his house and cut his hair to avoid being recognised, he said, adding that the teen has been sent to a juvenile detention centre.
