During the argument, she started fighting with another woman standing near the grill. As the video showed, both women can be seen pulling each other’s hair, punching and shouting abuses.
Several other women standing in the coach are heard pleading with them to stop. "Choro, choro" (leave her) can be heard from fellow passengers as both women became violent. Another woman was seen closing the train’s corridor gate to prevent anyone from falling or any untoward incident.
