Man Takes Bath in Moving Train for Social Media Fame, Faces Legal Action from Indian Railways

The incident occurred on a moving train near the Veerangana Lakshmibai Jhansi station area.

A disturbing viral video has captured a man bathing inside a moving train coach, triggering widespread outrage online. The footage shows Pramod Shriwas setting up a bucket and mug in the middle of a coach corridor and taking a complete bath with soap and water, seemingly unconcerned about fellow passengers who recorded the incident. The man later confessed that he performed this act solely to gain popularity by creating content for social media.

The bizarre scene left other passengers both shocked and amused as the video rapidly spread across social media platforms, generating reactions ranging from laughter to severe criticism and disbelief.

In response to the viral footage, railway authorities including the North Central Railway swiftly initiated action. The Railway Protection Force (RPF) has begun legal proceedings against Shriwas for his inappropriate behavior that caused inconvenience to other passengers.
