Mumbai: A 22-year-old transgender was arrested by the Government Railway Police (GRP) for allegedly robbing women commuters traveling in Mumbai local trains by threatening them with a toy gun and a knife, an official said on Tuesday.

Panchal was nabbed from Khar in Mumbai after analyzing footage of CCTV cameras at platforms of the Borivali railway station, the official said.

Panchal had robbed a woman commuter in a Virar-bound local train last week and threatened her with a toy gun, the official said.

Panchal is a habitual offender who had robbed a woman at knifepoint in the past, he added.
