The railway’s officials were suspended after the video of the violent brawl went viral on social media platforms.
It is not the first time that staff have assaulted passengers in India.
Earlier, staffers of one of the top Indian airlines badly beat up an elderly passenger following an alternation on the tarmac.
The situation happened when the man, identified as Rajiv Katiyal, got into an argument with some ground staffers over some issue and he allegedly abused them.

The ground staffers stopped the man from boarding the bus that was taking passengers to the terminal. They-then manhandled him and dragged him on the tarmac for over a minute.
An IndiGo employee, Montu Kalra, who was at the site tried to intervene and shot a video of his colleagues manhandling the passenger. But he was later sacked.
