The victim, Mir Zakir Shavaruhaq, suffered only minor bruises and injuries on his hand.

“We were notified that a man was hanging through the capillary overhead cable near Santacruz in northwest Mumbai,” a Western Railway official told IANS.

“We disconnected power supply for around 20 minutes to rescue him,” he added.

The official said it was a miracle he was not electrocuted.

Shavaruhaq was handed over to the Government Railway Police, which let him off after a warning.
