Viral video of packet filled with kachoris leads to suspension of five by Railways

A viral video of a Railway gateman allegedly handing over a packet of kachoris to a loco pilot or his assistant inside a train at a railway crossing in Rajasthan’s Alwar district has led to disciplinary action being undertaken by the Railways.

Have you ever experienced a sudden craving for your favourite snack while travelling? Most of us do, but unfortunately, there’s not much that can be done if the person is present in a moving public vehicle. However, one loco pilot’s craving for kachori was so intense that he decided to stop the train mid-way to get himself a plate of the tasty snack. The incident took place in Alwar district in Rajasthan.

A video of the bizarre incident is now going viral on different social media platforms. One Twitter user shared the clip which shows a man waiting dangerously in the middle of the train tracks. A few seconds into the clip, the train approaches the man and slows down as he extends a packet of food to the loco pilot. After taking the packet, the train leaves the spot slowly.
