The girl, travelling on the Yeshwantpur-Mysore Express, fell 25 feet below on the dry river bed of Shimsha after she was thrown out from the train near Maddur, about 63 km from here, yesterday, police said.
The girl is being treated for injuries to the head, backbone and legs at the Mandya Institute of Medical Sciences. Doctors attending on her today said she is out of danger.
The four men, who were arrested, were produced today before the Maddur Judicial Magistrate First Class Court which remanded them to 15 days judicial custody.
The girl, a tailor at a garment factory in Bangalore, was travelling to her hometown Mysore on leave to spend time with her grandmother when the incident took place.
Irked over the incident, some 20 to 25 people belonging to Hindu Jagaran Vedike assaulted the four men when they were brought today to the Mandya Railway station for inquiry.
The Vedike activists staged a protest demanding that Bangalore-Mysore trains be guarded by police and flayed "Railway Police negligence" to provide security to commuters travelling between Bangalore to Mysore
