Viral Video Shows Men Halt Vande Bharat With Logs, Prompting Calls for Enforcement

Calls for enforcement under Section 150 of the Railways Act are mounting, with outlets noting the video remains unverified.

Overview

  • The widely shared clip shows young men placing wooden logs and concrete bars on tracks before exclaiming “Vande Bharat rukwa diye” as the train slows and stops.
  • A police constable seen in the video approaches the group, who tell him they were filming a video rather than trying to board the train.
  • Users on X tagged the Railway Ministry, the RPF and Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, with some urging arrests and even extraordinary measures such as NSA or UAPA.
  • Reports highlight Section 150 of the Railways Act, which criminalises obstructing tracks and can carry sentences up to life imprisonment, with minimum terms for first offenders.
  • Multiple outlets state they cannot independently verify the clip’s details, and no reports have confirmed arrests or formal charges at this time.
