A bizarre incident was reported from central India’s Madhya Pradesh, where a man was caught hiding under a coach of Danapur Express on Thursday, December 26. What’s even more baffling was, he travelled all the way from Itarsi to Jabalpur (290 kms) hanging under the train’s coach, between the wheels!
It was during a rolling test, near the Jabalpur railway station, when the staff of Carriage and Wagon department found him hiding under the coach.
The employees were conducting a routine under-gear check of the coaches when they found the man lying in the trolley beneath the S4 coach. A video of the man coming out from under the trolley has surfaced on social media and has gone viral. The identity of the man has not been revealed yet.

Upon arrival, the RPF officers forced the man out from under the carriage and took him into custody. A video of the same has surfaced on social media. In the video, it can be seen that the man looks in an inebriated state and was ‘hanging by a thread’ underneath the train. It is unclear where the man is from or how he managed to enter the train’s trolley, but he admitted to boarding the train at Itarsi.
The Railway Protection Force has apprehended the man and has lodged a case against him. Further investigations are underway. More details will be revealed as the interrogation moves ahead.
