Passengers travelling on the Duronto Express from Nagpur to Mumbai faced an unexpected incident when someone threw a stone at the train from outside as it ran on the route at night.

The sudden incident created an atmosphere of fear among the passengers in the coach. A video of the incident is now being widely shared on social media and has reached many people.
A traveller who creates content on Instagram under the name @aesthetetraveller witnessed the incident and shared a video of it, raising the question of whether train travel is really safe. He said other families and small children were travelling around him in the same coach, which is why the incident is being seen as more serious.

The incident occurred while dinner was being served, and the window glass shattered leaving a large hole. The sudden incident frightened everyone who was enjoying the journey.
The final part of the video shows a view from outside the train, in which police can be seen inspecting the spot. While sharing the video, the creator raised the issue of railway safety again and said measures were needed to prevent such incidents.
After the video went viral, a major discussion started on social media, with many users posting reactions in the comments. One user wrote that dashcams are needed outside train windows.
