A 22-year-old man was stabbed multiple times on a Mumbai local train after a dispute over the train door during heavy rain.

Mayank Lohar, a salesman, boarded the Churchgate-Nallasopara fast local from Andheri station at 10:42 pm on Tuesday.

He was stabbed in the abdomen and chest by another passenger, identified as 30-year-old Suvarna, who allegedly pulled out a sharp weapon.

The train arrived at Borivali station at 11:04 pm, and Suvarna jumped out of the coach before the train came to a complete halt.

Mayank was taken to the station's emergency medical room and later shifted to Shatabdi Hospital, where he was declared dead.

Police formed seven investigation teams and reviewed footage from nearly 400 CCTV cameras to identify the attacker.

Suvarna was arrested within hours of the incident and is currently in police custody.
