Mumbai train viral video: A disturbing incident on a train heading to Mumbai has surfaced, where two intoxicated men reportedly assaulted Madrassa children traveling in the general coach.

The video of this alarming episode has gone viral, drawing widespread condemnation and questions about passenger safety.

Intoxicated men attack Madrassa children, assault bystander

According to reports, the two attackers, allegedly drunk, targeted the children without provocation, creating a scene of terror in the coach. When Sushil, a concerned passenger, tried to stop them, he too became a victim of their violence. The video, which quickly spread on social media, shows the extent of the aggression and has led to a public outcry for justice.

Questions raised about railway safety after video surfaces

The incident has raised concerns about the safety of Muslim passengers and minorities in general, with social media users directing their outrage towards the Railway Ministry. Many are demanding action from Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, asking if there is any policy in place to prevent such targeted attacks on trains. The lack of immediate intervention by authorities has also come under criticism, with people calling for stricter measures to ensure the safety of all passengers.

Social media users are outraged

The attack has prompted heated reactions from various users on social media.

Banwari Lal, a user, wrote, “This incident is extremely worrying and condemnable. Religious or ethnic violence has no place, especially in public transport. The railway administration must take responsibility and ensure that legal action is taken against the culprits.”

Another user, Krishna Sanjeev Jatav, commented, “These terrorists should have been thrown out of the train. Their hatred will one day be their undoing. It is horrifying to see such violence against innocent children.”

Nitin Thorat pointed towards a larger political narrative, stating, “This is the outcome of the hate-fueled environment created by the ruling party. The silence of the media and administration only emboldens such acts.”

Meanwhile, Anvi Yadav echoed similar sentiments, “The government is pushing the country towards chaos, similar to Syria and Libya. While Madrassa children are being attacked, the government remains focused on elections.”
