In a shocking incident a Transgender Group attacked a youth sleeping at a Mumbai railway station.
The clip of the viral video sparked outrage over public safety and bystander inaction. Indian Railways acknowledged the video, seeking specifics to verify the incident, but no official confirmation or police action has been reported.
The footage, shared on X by user Varaha Warrior, appears to show a disturbing incident in which a sleeping youth is assaulted by a group identified in posts as members of the transgender community.
It will be of importance to note that key details on the location, date, and identities of those involved have not been officially confirmed. The incident happened in broad daylight.
The viral clip shows the young man asleep on a bench while three transgenders stand around him. Suddenly, one person removes a piece of footwear and forcefully strikes the youth. Stunned and visibly confused, the youth wakes up, only to be met with additional slaps by them. As the clip ends, he is seen running away across the platform while the group appears to chase him.
The video’s caption, “Transgender Group Attacks Sleeping Youth at Railway Station, Raises Questions About Public Safety…” sparked strong reactions from viewers. Many online users condemned the behaviour shown in the clip and questioned the lack of public intervention, as several bystanders visible in the footage appeared to walk past without attempting to help.
After the widespread circulation of the video, the Indian Railways’ official support handle, Railway Seva, responded publicly, stating that such incidents do not reflect the experience rail authorities aim to provide. The Railways urged users to share specific details, including the station name and a contact number, through direct messages or through the RailMadad WhatsApp bot, indicating that officials were attempting to verify the facts surrounding the video.
However, as of now, there is no verified information regarding when or where the incident occurred, nor any official confirmation of whether legal action has been pursued. Police or railway authorities have not issued statements identifying the persons involved.
