Mumbai: Model and web series actress Antara Banerjee, 31, was arrested after allegedly stripping and attacking Railway Protection Force (RPF) personnel with a razor blade aboard the Aravali Express on August 12 after a dispute over her unreserved status. Banerjee, travelling to Surat for a shoot, allegedly entered a reserved AC coach despite carrying only a sleeper-class ticket.
Dispute over reserved seat
The incident occurred between Borivali and Dahanu from about 9.30pm to 10.50pm. According to the FIR, a passenger asked Banerjee to vacate the reserved seat. After she refused, the passenger alerted ticket collector Harikesh Tripathi and the RPF. RPF assistant sub-inspector Yaminikant Mishra said he and constable Rajesh Kumar intervened, but Banerjee allegedly abused officials and became violent. Police said she then undressed, brandished a blade and injured Mishra as well as herself. Mishra alleged that she also damaged his uniform and mobile phone.
