What adds to the shock of this incident is that it transpired while the train was in motion. It remains uncertain whether the railway police were alerted at any of the stations along the route.

The viral video has sparked a flurry of reactions online. One user on X (formerly Twitter) remarked, “Will you become a goon, Baba?” while another commented, “Luck did not favor you—the poor guy got trapped badly.”

Conversely, some users expressed concern over the increasing frequency of mobile thefts near train windows. They criticized the passengers' actions, arguing that taking the law into one’s own hands is inappropriate. “After apprehending any suspect, the police should be notified immediately,” one user stated.
