Youth smokes ‘ganja’ on train, causes inconvenience
In the video, one of the passengers informed the RPF officer that the person smoked ganja on the train seat and created discomfort to others onboard, especially children and women travelling on the coach. They pointed out that they asked the man to stop smoking or do so after getting off the transport, but he refused to obey them. They rang the cops for assistance.
“Sir, we told him many times to not smoke here. We asked him to smoke after he exited the train but he is smoking throughout the journey (translated from Hindi)”, a passenger said.
Passengers alert railway police
The passenger also threw light on how he caused inconvenience to fellow passengers in the coach by smoking weed and spreading the toxic smoke in the premises. “Ekdam nashe mein tha ye. Hum keh rahe hai dua aa raha hai lekin isko kuch nahi”, he said in the video while narrating the ordeal to the railway cop.
RPF action follows
The RPF officer addressed the incident and slapped the youth for his act. The footage showed him pulling the smoker’s hair and slapping him. However, when the officer questioned him on consuming weed on the train, he denied the allegation and said, “Nahi piya. Nahi piya, sir”.
The location of the incident is unclear. The railways has so far not issued any official statement in this matter. No case or arrest has been reported.
