The video of an Indian railway passenger stealing food from a seller by an Indian railway passenger during the train is going viral on social media. Online users are very criticized for this clip. The clip was originally posted on the ‘R/Indianrailways’ community of the Reddit, in which the person is seen shamelessly laughing and stealing, and it seems that he is considering it a joke.
In this 43 -second video, the person is sitting on the upper berth of the sleeper coach and he is sure that people are making a video of him. As soon as the sellers take a tray and bag on their head, they go through crowded corridors, he shamelessly picks up their tray.

He first steals a packet of Mango drinks, then takes a samosa, and later takes a bottle of water, and it all smiles and laughing. This video was recorded by a passenger sitting on the upper berth in front of him. Sharing this clip, a redit post reads, “He feels that stealing poor sellers is ‘funny’. This man should be detained.”
However, NDTV has not been able to confirm the time or location of the video independently. This video has created resentment on the Internet, where a part of the Internet has not only behaved the person’s behavior, but has also criticized the apathy of other travelers. A user said, “Why are the rest of the passengers laughing and encouraging it?” While another said, “How can anyone think about doing so? These vendors work hard to earn their livelihood, and people are stealing them as if it is a joke.”
Many users also suggested better safety measures for vendors. A user said, “Vendors should use a cover or lid. This makes the food not only from dirt, but also from idiots like these.” Some people expressed concern over lack of accountability. A user said, “Why is anyone not stopping him?”
On this viral clip, online sharp reactions were received and it gave birth to a very important discussion about sympathy and respect for hardworking vendors who earn their hard earned money.
