Cases of thefts have been common in trains. In particular, in recent times, there were numerous cases of thefts in the ladies compartments of electric trains in Mumbai. After continuous incidents of numerous thefts in the trains, many women had given complaints to the railway officials as well. It must be noted that most of these theft incidents happened particularly between Boriwali Santa Cruz railway stations, as found by the railway investigation team.
A special team was formed to nab the culprits. On May 30, a female police officer had boarded the train at Borivali railway station. The police officer was able to catch a 20-year-old girl named Twinkle Soni red-handed as she tried to steal the mobile phone. Twinkle is an architecture student, and the police have seized 9 mobile phones from her.
