Indian Railway Viral Video: A shocking video showing a young woman struggling to breathe inside a crowded train coach has caught the attention of social media users and sparked widespread anger. The clip, shared by user @IndianGems_, captures the girl sitting by a window, splashing water on her face as she fights for air in a packed second-class coach. In the viral video, the woman can be seen visibly distressed as passengers crowd around her, making it hard for her to breathe. At one point, she tries to ease her struggle by washing her face.
The heartbreaking scene became even more upsetting when people on the platform outside the train were seen laughing and mocking her instead of helping. This disturbing footage was posted on YouTube by @anurvns and has since been widely shared across multiple social media pages. Videos like this are, unfortunately, common during busy festival seasons when trains become dangerously overcrowded.
However, the Railway Seva account responded to the video, saying, “We are concerned to see this. Please share details like the Place of incidence, the Date of incidence and the Mobile no so that we can get it checked. You may also raise your concern directly on https://railmadad.indianrailways.gov.in for speedy redressal.”

The video has triggered strong reactions online. Many viewers condemned the lack of compassion shown by bystanders and called for better safety rules to protect travelers. People are demanding stricter crowd management and improved passenger safety measures, especially during times when trains are packed with festival travelers.
“Indian trains are like the ultimate test of patience and flexibility—where you might end up sharing your seat with a family of five, a goat, and a suitcase full of spices, all while hoping the chaiwala doesn’t run out of tea before your stop,” a user wrote. “This is common during festivals and competitive exams, etc. Railways should run special trains on festivals, citing the demand on different routes. A strong willpower is required from the Railways,” a second user wrote.
