The North Central Railway responded after a viral reel showed a man bathing openly inside a train.
In a bizarre incident that left passengers stunned, a young man was caught on camera bathing in the corridor of a moving train at Veerangana Lakshmibai Jhansi station, all for the sake of making a reel.
The video, which quickly went viral, shows the passenger casually pouring water over himself and scrubbing in the open passageway just outside the toilet, completely unbothered by those around him.
The North Central Railway reacted after the video went viral, confirming that the passenger had been traced.
Railways condemn viral act:
In its statement, the department said the man had admitted to filming the act to gain popularity on social media. Legal action has been initiated against him by the RPF for creating a public nuisance and misconduct on railway property.
“North Central Railway requests all passengers not to engage in such inappropriate acts that cause inconvenience to others,” the post adds.
