A shocking video circulating widely on social media has brought to light extensive vandalism inside the Kamla Ganga Intercity Express. The clip, filmed by a passenger and later shared by a user on X, shows a sleeper coach where almost every seat appears to have been intentionally damaged. The upholstery bears long, neat cuts, seemingly made with sharp blades, revealing the cushioning and metal frames beneath. Passengers said the vandalism was not confined to a handful of seats but had spread across nearly the entire coach.
"Train seats slashed with blades The usual suspects strike again. These are people who despise India's growing infrastructure, who find comfort not in progress but in destruction. Whenever the nation builds, they cut. Whenever the country moves forward, they try to tear it apart one act of sabotage at a time," the video was captioned on X.
Social Media Reaction
The video has sparked widespread anger online, with users on platforms such as X and Instagram demanding tougher monitoring measures and strict action against those responsible for damaging public property.
One user wrote, "Quite a shame that people still have destruction in their basic mindset to enjoy and be funky! If the doers of this incident are caught by any chance, they should be made to pay for the damages and also punished legally." Another commented, "Education is so important in this country. The problem is that people don't get it at school. Catching such disruptors should be a priority, and they should receive treatment and education in police stations or jails. Police are always required on trains, and their number should be provided as part of the ticket." "Trains should have CCTV cameras. The culprits should be identified and jailed. We cannot let them run amok," added a third user. A fourth said, "Sadly, law enforcement is a joke. The culprits will just get away and never be caught and punished with exemplary punishment. There is no deterrent for such criminals. There is no fear of getting caught or punished."
