Mumbai: At least three persons were injured after being run over by a local train between Sandhurst Road and Masjid Bunder railway station on the Central Railway on Thursday during evening peak hours.

Officials of the CR from the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT), Government Railway Police (GRP) and Railway Protection Force (RPF) have rushed to the spot.

The injured persons have been rushed to the Sir JJ Hospital at Byculla.

There was heavy rush in the suburban railway platforms when railway employees went on a flash agitation because of an FIR filed against two railway engineers in connection with the June 9 Mumbra train accident, which claimed four lives.

The incident had occurred between Diva and Mumbra railway stations when the trains were passing each other at a sharp curve.

When the latest reports came in, the trains had started.

“The protest of employees at CSMT on account of FIR by GRP against two engineers has been pacified and trains have restarted at 18.45 from CSMT,” the CR said.
