A shocking and bizarre incident took place at Dadar railway station in Mumbai after an unknown person cut a young woman's hair and fled away.
According to reports, a 19-year-old woman was on her way to college when a man cut her hair and took it away in a bag. The incident took place around 9:30 am on Monday, January 6 while she was travelling from Kalyan to Matunga Road (WR) aboard a special local train for women. The victim studies at Ruparel College.
She reached Dadar station around 9:29 am and was walking towards the western railway foot over bridge when the attack occurred.
According to the woman’s statement to the Government Railway Police (GRP), as she passed near the booking counter, she felt something prick her around 9:31 AM. When she turned around, she noticed an unfamiliar man with a backpack walking hastily away. She then observed hair on the ground and, upon checking, realised that half of her hair had been cut off.
Additionally, the incident has stirred memories of the 2017 'choti katwa' scare that haunted parts of North India, including Haryana, Delhi and Rajasthan, where women reported mysterious hair-cutting incidents.
