Viral Train Clip Shows Woman Cooking Maggi With Kettle Plugged Into Coach Socket

Railway rules forbid heating devices on coach outlets due to overload and fire risk.

Overview

  • Footage recorded by a co-passenger in an AC coach shows noodles boiling in an electric kettle connected to the berth charging point.
  • Posts on X drew heavy criticism and demands for penalties, with a smaller group disputing the level of danger.
  • Coach charging points are described as roughly 110V for low-power devices like phones and laptops, not 220–240V kettles or other high-wattage appliances.
  • Technical explanations warn that such misuse can overload circuits, trip breakers, cause sparks or, in worst cases, start fires.
  • The time and location of the video remain unverified, Indian Railways has not issued a statement, and prior RPF actions and posted warnings discourage such behavior.
