In a disturbing incident that has sparked outrage across the country, a shocking video from Bihar has surfaced on social media showing two young men from bihar attacking passengers on a moving train with sticks. The alarming footage, which quickly went viral, was captured near Nagri Halt in Bihar and appears to have been recorded as part of a staged stunt for a social media reel.
The now-viral video opens with two young men from bihar standing perilously close to the railway tracks at Nagri Halt, a small stop along a busy route. As a train approaches at high speed, both men are seen holding long sticks. When the train begins to pass, one of them suddenly lashes out, swinging the stick violently at passengers who are seated on the footboards near the train doors—some of whom were completely unaware of the impending attack. The act is carried out in broad daylight, and the person filming captures the moment with clear intent to publish it online.
What makes the incident even more troubling is the apparent planning and intent behind the attack. The positioning of the camera, the coordination between the two individuals, and the timing of the blow strongly suggest that the entire episode was choreographed for the purpose of creating viral content. It reflects a disturbing trend of dangerous and irresponsible behaviour for online fame, disregarding the safety and well-being of others.
Swift Action by Authorities-(Bihar case)
Soon after the video began circulating on social media platforms, it drew widespread condemnation from viewers who demanded immediate action. Responding swiftly, the Railway Protection Force (RPF) identified and arrested the two culprits. In an official statement posted on X (formerly Twitter), the RPF confirmed the arrests and assured the public that such criminal behaviour would not be tolerated.

Public Outrage and Growing Concerns
The video has ignited a broader conversation around safety on Indian Railways, particularly the vulnerability of passengers who travel on the footboards due to overcrowding. It also brings to light the growing menace of social media stunts that endanger lives. From hanging off moving trains to performing acrobatic feats in risky locations, a number of influencers and thrill-seekers have increasingly been pushing the boundaries in pursuit of viral fame.
Many on social media expressed horror and anger over the incident. “This is attempted murder for a few likes. Make an example out of them,” wrote one user. Another commented, “This should not just be a small fine or slap on the wrist. These men need jail time.”
The incident at Nagri Halt serves as a grim reminder of how social media-driven recklessness can lead to real-world harm. Authorities have urged citizens to report such incidents and have reiterated their commitment to maintaining strict surveillance and prompt action.
