A viral video showing a man lighting an oil lamp and incense sticks to perform prayers inside an AC train coach has highlighted how public safety cannot be compromised. Social media users are now demanding strict action against the passenger. Railway Seva has responded to the video.
The clip, which has gone viral across multiple social media platforms, shows the man seated on the upper berth of the train while carrying out a religious ritual.
As the prayers continue, another passenger can be heard confronting him, pointing out the dangers of lighting an open flame inside a moving train.
The person recording the video can be heard saying how burning incense sticks could trigger the coach's smoke detection system, while the oil lamp posed an even greater risk of causing a fire in the enclosed compartment.
The fellow passenger repeatedly urged the man to extinguish the flame, stressing that the safety of everyone on board could be compromised.

While the exact date and location of the incident remain unverified, the video has ignited a heated debate online. Many users argued that personal religious practices should never come at the cost of public safety, especially in confined public spaces such as trains.
Several questioned how an open flame was allowed inside an air-conditioned coach, while others urged railway authorities to identify the passenger and initiate legal action.
Railway Seva has responded to the post asking for the train number and PNR number of the passenger.
The incident has also revived discussions about railway safety protocols, with social media users pointing out that trains are equipped with smoke detection and fire safety systems for a reason. Many noted that even a small flame or excessive smoke could lead to panic among passengers or, in the worst-case scenario, a fire emergency.
