Train rooftop traveller electrocuted

MUMBAI: In the second such incident on Central Railway in a week, a commuter travelling on the rooftop of a local got electrocuted.
Irfan Usman Ghani Shaikh (35) sustained a high-voltage electric shock near Chunabhatti station on Thursday. The incident took place at 3.50 pm on a Panvel-bound slow local from CST. Harbour line services were disrupted from 3.53 pm to 4.30 pm.
GRP officials said Shaikh, from Govandi, came in contact with an overhead wire. "The train was not crowded due to the Bharat bandh, but Shaikh put his life in danger," a GRP official said. A minor was electrocuted in Dadar on Tuesday.
