What Really Happened Inside the Coach? Viral Video

 The incident reportedly involved a family travelling to Haridwar for a mundan ceremony, who claimed they were forced to deboard the train midway following the altercation. 

A heated dispute broke out on a train after a mother and daughter allegedly occupied another passenger’s middle berth and refused to vacate it for his child, for whom the seat was reserved. 

The situation escalated when they reportedly argued with the ticket collector (TC), and during the confrontation, the girl allegedly slapped the rightful passenger. 

The mother and daughter also threatened the passenger, claiming their “family lawyers” would deal with the matter. The incident reportedly forced the family, travelling to Haridwar for a mundan ceremony, to get off the train midway to Pathankot station. 

What Happened After Train Seat Row Turns Violent 

One of the family members posted a video describing the situation. According to the family, the woman was sitting on one of their reserved berth when the husband politely requested her to vacate the seat so their children could sit. 

The woman refused to vacate it, then TT intervened and offered to shift the woman to another seat. But she allegedly refused and instead told around 12 members of the family to change their seats. 

As the situation escalated, other passengers and the TT reportedly said they would give statements if an FIR was lodged. The woman later said she did not react to the slap because the family was extremely panicked as they were travelling for their child’s mundan ceremony. 

The family claimed they were forced to get down at Sharanpur railway station, where the mother and daughter allegedly arrived with 18-19 people. Later, the family filed an FIR in Yamunanagar over the incident.
