Man Travelling Ticketless On Vande Bharat Lights Cigarette, This Happens
NDTV
The train was travelling from Tirupati in Andhra Pradesh to Secunderabad
Vande Bharat Express is in news again, not for stone attacks or collisions with cattle, but for a ticketless passenger who could not resist the craving for a cigarette during the journey.
The train travelling from Tirupati in Andhra Pradesh to Secunderabad had just crossed Gudur and the destination was still more than eight hours away.
A passenger had boarded the train without a valid ticket and had locked himself inside the toilet. He would have well made the journey free of cost, but a drag did him in. Unaware of fire alarms installed in the flagship train, he went to the toilet and lit a cigarette. Instantly, alarms started ringing and an automatic fire extinguisher went to work, spraying aerosol through the compartment.
