Bihar: Passengers hold alleged phone snatcher by his hands outside moving train window

A video from a railway station in Bihar is going viral on social media. It shows a youth hanging outside the window of a moving train while passengers hold his hands. He is accused of trying to snatch a passenger's mobile phone.

The video is said to be from Shivnarayanpur railway station in Bihar. A man was reportedly trying to snatch a passenger's mobile phone on a train. His attempt failed and the passengers caught him on the spot.

The passengers were so angry that instead of letting him off easily, they decided to punish him. They held both his hands through the window, and he remained hanging outside it.

The video shows that the train started moving after some time, yet the passengers did not let go of his hands. He is seen screaming for his life and pleading with the passengers. As the train picked up speed, the passengers released his hands and he fell onto the station. In the last scene he is seen lying on the station. Fortunately, he did not go under the wheels of the moving train, or he could have died.

The video of the incident was shared on X from an account named @RajuSharmajour1. Another post said that a thief who tried to snatch a passenger's phone from a moving train at Shivnarayanpur railway station was caught and held by the window.

Users have reacted to the video in different ways. Some have sided with the thief, while others say the passengers did the right thing. One user wrote, "This is not right. No one has the right to kill a human being over theft. Anger is natural and a little beating in anger may happen, but this is going too far. He could have got caught in the train's wheels and been seriously injured or even killed."

Another user wrote, "Today karma has picked up the speed of an express." Yet another user wrote, "A thief is less guilty than a murderer."
