Mumbai: Man’s Act Of Passing Raincoat To Friend Causes Chaos At Churchgate Station

Recently in Mumbai, a bizarre incident occurred at Churchgate railway station on Monday.

A man who was standing at platform No.2 saw that his friend was vulnerable to the rain. In an attempt to help her, he dramatically tried to pass on the raincoat, as the friend was standing on platform No.3.

But this helping gesture took a shocking turn for others, as the raincoat became stuck on overhead electric wires. As a result, the train operation stopped. Due to coat being stuck in railway line between platforms, it generated panic among people.

However, the railway establishment promptly responded to this crisis and managed to remove raincoat by cutting off the power to impacted lines. Thus, causing a delay of local trains for 25 minutes.
