FIR Filed in Namo Bharat Train Obscenity Case, Operator Booked Over Leaked Video

Police say an unauthorized recording by a train operator prompted charges under new BNS provisions.

Overview

  • Muradnagar police registered the case after a complaint by DB-RRTS security head Dushyant Kumar, citing alleged obscene acts by a young couple in the premium coach on November 24.
  • The FIR invokes BNS sections 296 for obscene acts and 77 for voyeurism, along with relevant provisions of the Information Technology Act for the video’s dissemination.
  • An internal inquiry found train operator Rishabh recorded the incident from the operator’s cabin using a mobile phone, violating company rules and resulting in his dismissal on December 3.
  • Investigators are examining multiple viral videos that display train running parameters and are working to identify and summon the couple while also questioning the operator.
  • Notices have been sent to local institutions for student details as police pursue leads suggesting the duo may be from colleges near the Namo Bharat corridor.
