A shocking video has gone viral on social media showing a passenger being beaten up on a train after he reportedly complained about being overcharged for food. The incident was first shared on Reddit in the ‘r/indianrailways’ group and later spread across platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram, sparking anger among the public.

According to the Reddit post, the passenger had filed a complaint on the Railway Seva platform after being overcharged by the train’s catering staff. The post claims that after the complaint was made, the passenger’s ticket details (PNR and seat number) were shared with IRCTC, which then informed the food contractor. The contractor allegedly sent his men to confront and beat up the passenger.
The Divisional Railway Manager (DRM) of Jabalpur responded on social media, saying, “We’re sorry for the inconvenience. The complaint is from July 15, when the train was in the Baroda division. We’re now in contact with IRCTC to cancel the pantry contract on this train.”
The train involved is said to be the Somnath-Jabalpur Express (Train No. 11463). People online are criticising the system for allowing such incidents to happen. One user wrote, “How can you give the complainant’s details to the same people the complaint is about? That’s unsafe and irresponsible.” Others said complaints should be handled by an independent team, and refunds should be given without putting passengers in danger.
Several others came forward, sharing similar experiences where they were forced to take back complaints or pressured to say the issue was resolved, even when it wasn’t.
As of now, Indian Railways has not released an official statement.
