Posted on June 23, the video received more than 5,000 views and attracted numerous comments from viewers. The incident has sparked concern among the public regarding the train's upkeep.
Many slammed the poor maintenance and called out the inconvenience caused. The passenger, who was clearly upset, also demanded a full refund, saying the staff behaved irresponsibly throughout the journey.
Another video of the incident has surfaced, showing the leak from a different angle.
As the video started getting attention, the Railways responded through its official handle, Railway Seva, saying the authorities had already taken action. They explained the water leak happened because the AC drain holes got blocked by the return air filter.
As a result, water collected inside the system, and when the train braked, the water flowed into the air duct and leaked into the passenger area.
Check the response here:
'A case of water leakage was reported from the return air duct in coach C-7 (seat no. 76) on Train No. 22415 (Varanasi–New Delhi Vande Bharat Express). Root Cause: Condensate water accumulated under the cooling coil of the RMPU due to drain holes of drip tray blocked by Mix media/ Return air filter," the Railway Seva posted on X.
'The water, during braking, entered the return air duct, causing water to drip into the passenger area," the post also added.

What led to Air India crash? Pilots simulate accident, find key flaw, says report
While the reason behind the crash of the ill-fated AI 171 jet is yet to be ascertained, Air India pilots re-enacted the aircraft's parameters in a flight simulator and identified technical malfunction as a possible cause, Bloomberg reported, quoting part of the simulation, the pilots kept the landing gear deployed and the wing flaps retracted. However, it was found that these configurations alone would not have resulted in a India has declined to comment on the findings. "These are speculations, and we will not be able to give any comments at this time," an Air India spokesperson told India SIMULATION FOUND? Pictures of the wreckage of the doomed Boeing 787 Dreamliner showed that the flaps were in an extended position, and not retracted, as speculated. The flaps provide the extra lift required by an aircraft during the take-off and landing phases when its speed is London-bound aircraft crashed into a medical college campus within seconds of takeoff in Ahmedabad, killing all but one of the 242 passengers and crew on board, and another 34 individuals who were on the results, along with several expert analyses, have reinforced the technical failure angle as one possible cause of the ENGINE FAILURE?advertisementAn aviation expert, former US Navy pilot Captain Steve Scheibner, has suggested dual engine failure might be behind one of the worst aviation accidents in India in several an interview with India Today, he said the deployment of the ram air turbine (RAT) shortly after takeoff pointed to a dual engine failure. The simulation was conducted separately from the official investigation being carried out by the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB). Sources told Bloomberg that it was done to explore possible analysis of the crash footage by Air India pilots found the landing gear was partially tilted forward, suggesting the retraction sequence of the wheels had been the same time, the landing-gear doors had not opened, which the pilots said indicated that the aircraft experienced a loss of power or a hydraulic failure - pointing to issues with the analysis of data from the black boxes of the doomed Air India aircraft is currently underway at the AAIB's laboratory in Delhi. It will help in reconstructing the sequence of events leading to the accident as well as give an idea why both engines simultaneously lost power.- EndsTune InMust Watch

Japan Airlines flight drops 26,000 ft mid-air, makes emergency landing
A Tokyo-bound Japan Airlines flight JL8696 from Shanghai was forced to make an emergency landing at Kansai Airport in Japan after the aircraft dropped nearly 26,000 feet mid-air suddenly. The Boeing 737 aircraft was operated by Spring Airlines Japan and carried 191 people on board, including passengers and the crew, South China Morning Post reported, adding that none of the passengers and crew were injured. The flight suffered a sudden drop in cabin pressure at around 6.53 PM local time, thereby forcing the plane to descend rapidly from 36,000 feet to 10,500 feet in ten minutes. According to an Associated Press report, passengers onboard were worried that the aircraft would crash after the oxygen masks were deployed amid fears of a change in pressure levels. Sudden drop in pressure level could cause some people to lose consciousness. A Spring Airlines flight from Shanghai to Tokyo was forced to make an emergency landing at Kansai Airport after a sudden loss of cabin pressure triggered a rapid descent from 36,000 feet to just under 10,500 feet in ten minutes. Flight JL8696 was cruising over Japan when a… — FL360aero (@fl360aero) July 1, 2025 Citing officials from the Japanese government, news report said the pilots contacted air traffic controllers after an alert was triggered in the aircraft about an irregularity in the pressurisation system that maintains cabin air pressure. Soon after landing, passengers began posting on social media about the incident as 'life-threatening'. A passenger wrote, 'My body is still here, but my soul hasn't caught up. My legs are still shaking. When you face life or death, everything else feels trivial.' Another passenger told Associated Press that a muffled boom was heard, and the oxygen mask came down in a few seconds, adding that the stewardess cried and shouted to put on the masks, saying that the plane had a malfunction. Several social media users claimed that the passengers were kept on board the plane, even after an hour of landing, with Spring Airlines announcing to pay each passenger 15,000 yen ($104) after complaints. However, the passengers would be required to contact the airline rather than receive the compensation automatically. A South China Morning Post report revealed that the Boeing 737 series involved in Monday's emergency landing has faced numerous global safety incidents, including at least 12 fatal crashes since 2000. An investigation is currently underway into the mechanical issue that caused the sudden drop in cabin pressure.
