The men opted for the restricted route, which was closed using railings, to exit the train. Instead of usually stepping down on the railway platform as the train halted there, they switched to the other side and alighted with great difficulty. In the few seconds of the train’s scheduled halt at the railway station, nearly half a dozen of people managed to riskily pass through the railings.
An undated video from the Mumbai Local train service showing people not alighting on the railway platform but getting down on a restricted space, that too in a dangerous manner, has surfaced online. It shows men travelling on the second class coach of the transport leaving the footboard to hold the fence of the railway station.
Despite the route being restricted with some railings, they attempted to squeeze themselves into the fairly available space to exit the premises.
They appeared to be in a struggle to use a shortcut avoiding long walk on railway platform. Train passengers (said to be at the Dadar) alighted the transport to not step on the station platform but the little space around the stairs connecting the FOB. They did so in a risky manner by squeezing themselves through the railings installed there.
