More on the viral video of men ripping off train seat covers.

The individual has been identified by X users as AnkitToppo, with many tagging his Instagram handle in the comments section as the video spread. The act has drawn sharp criticism, with viewers expressing anger over the damage to public property and the apparent attempt to turn it into viral content. In the latter part of the clip, two other men are seen hanging from the coach fittings and moving around inside the train while it is still in motion. This further raised concerns about the safety and reckless behaviour of a few passengers in public transport.

Many social media users reacted strongly to the video. One user reacted, “These fools are getting a kick out of this. They’re filming videos while ripping out train seats. People like these hooligans need to be dealt with properly.” Another expressed, “What kind of mentality they are carrying with them? They think doing this makes them cool, but they are looking like a very big fool. Authorities should take very strict action as they are no more than a termite for a developing economy.” Many others urged authorities to identify those involved and take strict action.
