A police constable has been arrested for allegedly misbehaving with a woman passenger in a drunken condition in the ladies' compartment of a local train in Mumbai.

The accused constable has been identified as Amol Kishore Sapkale, who has been posted with the Mira Bhayander and Vasai-Virar Police Commissionerate.

He was in his khaki uniform, showed a video shot by one of the passengers.

He was staring at the women passengers, making them uncomfortable, they alleged, claiming that he even snatched the mobile phones of some women who were trying to record his behaviour. Eventually, some women forced him out of the coach and lodged a complaint with the station master.
