Thane, Oct. 6 -- MNS workers allegedly assaulted a deputy station manager at Kalyan railway station on Monday after a woman pointsman accused him of sexually harassing her for six months. The woman, a pointsman, alleged that the official had been harassing her for the past six months by sending obscene messages and calling her to his residence. She had reportedly informed the station master about the alleged harassment twice. According to her complaint, the station master reprimanded the accused in her presence on both occasions. However, she alleged that the messages and calls continued. After she said she did not get the response she expected from the railway authorities, the woman approached local MNS leaders and showed them the messages allegedly sent by the official. On Monday, MNS workers went to the official's cabin with the woman and confronted him with the messages. While questioning him about the allegations, some members of the group began hitting him. A GRP official said a complaint had been registered against the railway official based on the woman's allegations. htc...
