A 28-year-old woman, Rutuja Ganesh Jangam, died after falling from an overcrowded Karjat local train on Tuesday night. She was pushed out of the train between Ambernath and Badlapur stations due to the heavy crowd.
According to the police, the Karjat-bound train, which departed from Ambernath at 8 pm, was running 25 minutes behind schedule.
Because of the delay, the train was extremely crowded. Witnesses said that when the train stopped at Ambernath station, many people rushed to board. In the confusion, Rutuja, who was also trying to get on, lost her balance and got stuck in the doorway.
Soon after the train left the station, she was pushed out by the crowd and fell onto the tracks. Other passengers quickly informed authorities, and Rutuja was taken to Central Hospital in Ulhasnagar for emergency care, but she was declared dead when she arrived.
