India Today
A group of men were seen throwing coloured water, cow dung and mud at a train speeding past them. The bizarre act raised serious safety concerns and called for strict legal action.
A group of men were seen throwing coloured water and mud at a passing train in a video that received criticism online, with several users calling for strict action against such behaviour.
The clip was shared on by X account The Nalanda Index, which condemned the act and tagged the Ministry of Railways, urging authorities to intervene.
In the video, several men could be seen standing close to a railway track as a train passed by at speed. One of the men was seen tossing a bucket of bright-coloured liquid toward the train, splashing it across the windows of the moving coaches. Others nearby appeared to cheer or simply stand and watch the act.
The train continued moving past the group as the coloured liquid hit the side of the coach, with the men standing only a short distance from the tracks and laughing as they continued to throw dirty water on the train's windows.
Along with the video, the account strongly criticised the act, writing, "Some people with a completely backward mindset think it’s fun to throw mud, dirty water, and even cow dung at passing trains." It also called on railway authorities to identify those involved and take strict legal action.
