On 2025-10-19, a woman passenger raised concerns on social media after alleging that police officers checked her luggage and recorded a video without proper identification during a train journey. The incident occurred around 5 am on the same day.
The video of the incident, shared by an Instagram user named Saiba, has gone viral with over 16 million views as of 2025-10-19T12:12:04+00:00.
