A man who slapped a random passenger onboard a train at Bihar's Anugraha Narayan Road railway station and recorded the entire act for online fame has finally been taught a lesson.

All this while, his friend recorded the act to be posted on social media.
As the video clip went viral, social media users reacted negatively and demanded the authorities to take action against Kumar. The Railway Protection Force (RPF) sprung into action and apprehended Kumar, who was directed to release an apology.
"No compromise on passenger security!! A YouTuber who slapped a passenger on a moving train for social media fame has been tracked & arrested by RPF Dehri-on-Sone!" RPF said in a post on X (formerly Twitter).
"Your safety matters to us-reckless acts will not be tolerated."
Meanwhile, Kumar in the apology video admitted his mistake, stating that he wanted to increase his followers by staging such a video.
"I am a YouTuber. I make and post videos on Instagram to increase my followers. I came to Anugraha Narayan Road railway station and, to boost my follower count, slapped a passenger on a moving train," said Kumar.
"This was my mistake, and I won't repeat it. Please forgive me," he added.
