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." |

GUWAHATI – NF Railway Sports Club continued their winning run in the GSA Super League Football Championship.In today’s match at the Nehru Stadium here, the railwaymen earned a 1-0 victory against ASEB Sports Club.After a scoreless first session, Jilendra Brahma scored the winning goal in the 82nd minute with a sharp header anticipating a floater sent by Sibra Narzary. Sibra took a flag kick and the ASEB defenders could not clear the ball properly. Finding the ball again Sibra set it for Jilendra who nodded into the back of the net.It was a mediocre encounter where very few goal bound moves were seen. ASEB squandered a scoring opportunity in the very third minute when Sagar Hang Limbu’s shot was fisted away by the Railway goalkeeper K Bijen Singh.In the 20th minute Jilendra’s shot missed the target by a whisker. Apart from these occasions, no team could cause real threat to the opponents. However, it was Jilendra who finally saw the day through for the Railway team. It was Railway’s fifth victory in six outings and placed on top with 16 points. |
