An incident occurred at Jabalpur railway station on October 17 where a passenger's watch was reportedly taken by a samosa vendor. This action followed a failed attempt by the passenger to make a UPI payment for a purchase as their train began to depart. A viral video of the event prompted the West Central Railway to identify the vendor as Sandeep Gupta. Officials, including West Central Railway CPRO Harshit Srivastava, confirmed Gupta's arrest under the Railway Act, the registration of a case, and the initiation of proceedings to cancel his license. The incident garnered varied public responses, with some condemning the vendor's conduct while others expressed understanding, citing his background and questioning the appropriate response when payment is not received. The video further depicted the vendor handing additional samosas to the passenger after receiving the watch.
