A 23-year-old man was arrested for throwing a stone at the Mumbai-Sainagar Shirdi Vande Bharat Express near Thakurli station, causing chaos and damage.

A 23-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly throwing a stone at the Mumbai-Sainagar Shirdi Vande Bharat Express near Thakurli station in Thane district on Friday, according to a police official.

The accused, identified as Sunny Kamble from Pune, is reportedly a drug addict.

“Though no one was hurt in the incident, a window of the premium train suffered extensive damage. Fragments of the glass hit some passengers, leading to chaos in the coach. After the act, the train’s passengers saw Kamble click selfies. They alerted the Central Railway control room following which a team of the Railway Protection Force and railway police rushed to the site," an official was quoted as saying by PTI.

Authorities launched a search along the tracks between Patripool and Thakurli, eventually arresting Kamble from a nearby building.

“Upon seeing police, he attempted to flee but was quickly detained. During interrogation, he confessed to the crime and revealed he is addicted to ganja. Kamble was booked under sections 153 (endangering safety of persons travelling by railway by wilful act) and 147 (entering railway premises without permission) of Railways Act," the official added.

Police are also investigating whether Kamble, currently detained in Aadharwadi Jail in Kalyan, was involved in a recent incident near Thakurli where a thief stole an expensive mobile phone from a passenger on the Sinhagad Express.
