Television actor Antara Banerjee was arrested after allegedly attacking a Railway Protection Force (RPF) constable with a razor blade on the Aravali Express on August 12. The incident occurred when she entered a reserved AC coach with a sleeper-class ticket while travelling to Surat for a shoot. According to an RPF complaint, Banerjee refused to vacate a reserved seat for the rightful passenger and began abusing the RPF team. The Borivali GRP said witnesses suggested she may have been distressed after failing to get an AC ticket. She allegedly refused to contact relatives or legal counsel and demanded to be arrested. Banerjee was taken into custody the next morning and later released after receiving a notice under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita. She is known for roles in shows like Kasautii Zindagii Kay, Badho Bahu and Divya Drishti.
