When co-passengers objected to his behaviour, Mandal allegedly created a ruckus, abused them and also threatened to shoot them.

The Railways Police Force RPF and the ticket examiner had to step in and he was then shifted to another coach of the train.

In his defence, Gopal Mandal said, "I was only wearing the undergarments as my stomach was upset during the journey."

He claimed that there was no woman present in the compartment at the time he walked past to go to the toilet.
