Overview

• The clip, posted on X by Debabrata (Bapi) Sahoo, shows railway staff pulling bedsheets, towels and blankets from a family’s luggage on the platform after a Purushottam Express journey.
• In the exchange, staff say four sets were found and demand the items be returned or a payment of Rs 780 be made, warning of an FIR under the Railways Act if refused.
• The family claims the packing was a mistake and disputes the count, but the attendant and a TTE press for either payment with a receipt or police action tied to the PNR.
• Reports note the video has drawn widespread online criticism, with view counts topping 140,000 and commenters calling for penalties and stronger deterrents.
• Outlets cite the Railways Act’s penalties for theft or damage of railway property and report that the time, location and any formal charges remain unverified.
