MUMBAI: A scuffle between a railway commuter, who is a city advocate, and a booking clerk at Churchate station on Saturday turned ugly with the advocate injuring his thumb following which he had to be admitted to GT hospital. The altercation, sources say, was over the change of Rs 100 for a ticket. Sources said that the advocate had not registered any complaint against the clerk. Western Railway senior spokesperson Sharat Chandrayan said that the advocate was "at fault" as he had trespassed and entered the booking office unauthorised. "It was a matter of giving back change for Rs 100 that had been given by the advocate. There was an argument at the booking counter following which the commuter entered our cabin and there was an altercation." Chandrayan however, said that the advocate had only suffered a minor injury on his finger nails. But Rohit Sawant, a friend of the advocate, told TOI : "Had it only been a nail injury, my friend wouldn't have been admitted to the hospital. He had severely injured his thumb in the altercation. But his family is not keen on pursuing the matter." |
