Overview

• A widely shared clip shows a woman smoking in an AC coach and arguing with co-passengers, demanding they delete the recording.
• She is heard saying lines such as "I’m not smoking on your dime" and "Call the cops" as objections escalate inside the compartment.
• Railway Seva posted that the matter was forwarded to relevant officials and the Railway Protection Force for necessary action.
• Outlets report they could not independently verify the video’s time, place, or the woman’s identity, though one report mentioned a train from an earlier date without confirmation.
• Media cite Section 167 of the Railways Act, which bars smoking in compartments if objected to and allows a fine up to ₹100, and note public calls online for stricter enforcement; no formal outcome has been announced.
