The video was reported shot aboard suburban section of Central Railways, between Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) and Sandhurst Road stations, however, the exact date and location could not be confirmed.
While some users saw no harm in the girl dancing aboard the train, others demanded strict action against her and even chastised the authorities for failing to maintain decorum in public spaces.
“Anything for Likes and Subscribers. She should be counselled and people behind this video if any to be booked,” a user wrote.
“Police cannot be in each compartment to stop this. It’s the people who have to ensure that they come together to stop this. There will also be some who will support it by saying she’s not causing anyone any harm. Authorities will catch her but she will be let go with a warning,” another user commented.
“If they come in Virar or Kalyan train, 100 sqft of space will get empty instantly,” a third user quipped.
