Shocking Video: Passenger’s Dangerous Mumbai Local Train Entry Angers Internet

In a shocking display of daredevilry, a Mumbai commuter risked his life by performing a dangerous stunt to board a moving local train. The viral video shows the man standing perilously on the railway tracks, leaning against the intermediate fencing, before climbing onto a packed second-class coach from the opposite side of the platform—bypassing the designated boarding area entirely. As the train approached the station, the man was seen balancing precariously on the tracks before swiftly handing his backpack to a woman inside a nearby compartment and scrambling aboard. The footage, initially shared with a romanticized caption—“Yeh pyaar ko kya naam du?” (What do I call this love?)—drew fierce backlash online. Social media users condemned the act, with many urging people to stop glorifying such reckless behavior.

“Please don’t do this, guys,” warned one commenter, while another stated, “We need to stop romanticizing this.” The public outrage highlights growing concerns over passenger safety on Mumbai’s overcrowded local trains, where risky stunts occasionally go viral for the wrong reasons.

As of April 6, Western Railway has not issued an official statement regarding the incident or any punitive action against the passenger. The exact location of the stunt remains unidentified. Authorities are yet to confirm whether the man was penalized for endangering his life and violating railway safety protocols.
