THANE: In a heist on a local train, a physically challenged commuter from Digha was targeted by a mobile thief who later jumped off with the loot as the train was between Thane and Kalwa stations around 8pm on Tuesday.
According to the railway police, the complainant, F Sahu (43), was travelling in a compartment for the the physically challenged. The police said the unidentified thief was also travelling on the same coach and had already zeroed in on his target.
“The train had left Thane and slowed down near the creek while nearing Kalwa when the accused snatched the phone from the pocket of my shirt. Before I could resist, he jumped off while the train was moving,” Sahu said in his complaint to the railway police. A case has been registered.
