Over a fortnight after an alleged argument over a seat in a Mathura-bound local train claimed the life of Junaid Khan, members of a family were beaten up in the same train on Friday.

Railway police said that they had received a complaint from a Delhi family in this regard. In their complaint, they told the police that they were returning from Govardhan and boarded the train at Mathura to reach Ghaziabad.

The family said some passengers boarded the train at Chhatta station. They claimed there was a commotion as there was rush in the train.

Some passengers, including women and children who boarded at Chhatta station, were beaten up due to a dispute over a seat, leading to injuries to a woman passenger, a railway official said.

Police said the victims de-boarded at Old Faridabad railway station and lodged a zero FIR at the GRP Police station. Santosh Dubey of Nangloi, Delhi, suffered injuries and was taken to BK Hospital for treatment, police said.
