Mumbai Station Calm: Meditation, Not Conversion
21 Nov, 2025
Summary
- Police inquiry confirmed a meditation session, not religious conversion.
- The individuals were practicing a Japanese meditation technique together.
- Authorities requested removal of the viral video due to privacy concerns.

Following the circulation of a video depicting a girl and an elderly man at Mumbai's Andheri railway station, the Government Railway Police (GRP) initiated an inquiry. The viral clip, which captured what appeared to be a prayer and guidance, had led to social media speculation about a religious conversion attempt. However, the GRP's investigation has debunked these claims.
Authorities confirmed that the individuals involved were known to each other and were engaged in practicing a Japanese meditation technique. The onlooker who filmed the video was heard questioning the man about conducting religious practices in a public space. The GRP noted that no commuter had lodged a formal complaint.
