Clash at Dum Dum station leaves passenger’s leg severed and RPF woman injured

A violent confrontation erupted on platform number 2 at Dum Dum railway station on Friday afternoon, resulting in gruesome injuries to both a passenger and a female Railway Protection Force (RPF) personnel. The clash reportedly began over a dispute between travelers and RPF staff and escalated rapidly, leaving one passenger with a severed leg and the RPF member seriously hurt.

Eyewitnesses described chaos as the altercation turned physical. The injured passenger’s leg was reportedly caught in a door or machinery amid the scuffle, leading to amputation at the scene. The female RPF officer sustained deep wounds during the melee and was rushed to a nearby hospital alongside the passenger. Commuters on the crowded platform were left traumatized as medical teams and additional security forces arrived.

Railway officials and local police have cordoned off the area and initiated an inquiry into the cause of the clash. Preliminary reports indicate a dispute over crowd management and perceived rough handling by RPF staff, but investigators are reviewing CCTV footage and interviewing witnesses to establish the exact sequence of events. Both the injured passenger and the RPF personnel remain under close medical care.

Authorities have appealed for calm among commuters and urged coordination between railway security and passenger groups to prevent such incidents. The railway administration has also announced a review of platform procedures and RPF engagement protocols to enhance safety and de-escalation training. Further updates will follow as the investigation progresses and more details emerge.
