After the train left Hazrat Nizamuddin railway station in Delhi around 6 pm on Friday, an unidentified person called the railway helpline 139 and claimed that a bomb had been planted in a sleeper coach of the train, officials said.

A customer care executive of the airline read the email at around 6.45 am and alerted authorities, an official from Vimantal police station said.
After being alerted, personnel from the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad (BDDS) and local police conducted extensive searches in and outside the airport premises.

Food Thief On Moving Train: Passenger Steals From Vendor's Cart, Faces Heat Online
Last Updated: The co-passengers did not object to his act and were seen laughing at his petty theft. What might have started as a mere prank for entertainment quickly turned into petty theft aboard a crowded train. A video has been going viral on social media, which shows a shocking scene of a passenger stealing from the vendors. While he might have thought that his antics were hilarious, the Internet is far from being amused. The clip begins with vendors trying to make their way through the narrow passage between the seats as they balance huge bags of goods on top of their heads. The young man, who was sitting on the upper berth, called one of them and looked through his bag, acting as if he wanted to buy something from the vendor. When he showed no interest and the vendor was about to walk away from that place, he sneakily took a packet of juice from the bag, without paying. His expression showed no signs of hesitation or guilt. He was clearly pleased with his petty theft. And he did not just limit himself to stealing one item. As vendors passed through the corridor one after another, he kept stealing food items, including samosas, a water bottle, and other fried snacks. He thinks stealing from poor vendors is "comedy". This guy needs to be detained. — Tarun Gautam (@TARUNspeakss) July 19, 2025 Internet Is Furious Over The Man's Actions As seen in the video, his co-passengers found his act amusing. They laughed at his inexcusable actions instead of discouraging him from doing so or even informing the poor vendors about what was happening. What was clearly theft was treated like an entertainment show for the other passengers. The viral video was shared on X with the caption: 'He thinks stealing from poor vendors is 'comedy'. This guy needs to be detained." Unlike his co-passengers, the Internet was furious about the man's act. Many expressed their anger and disappointment over this incident, with some even calling for strict punishments. One person said, 'It is not about his problem; it's about the people sitting beside them, and no one is saying anything. And everyone is taking fun of it!!!" Another added, 'Stealing from the poor and calling it content? That's not a prank, that's a crime. Lock him up." 'I'll never get why Indians think bending the rules is a genius move," said a different user. A user also tagged Railway Police and asked for punishment, saying, '@RPF_INDIA identify and fine him for this misdemeanour crime. People cannot be allowed to get away with stealing from others like this. Where is rule of law?" Since the video was posted on social media, it has garnered over a million views. view comments First Published: July 24, 2025, 09:39 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
