Netizens react to the viral video.

The post thus far has already crossed over a lakh views and sparked a wave of reactions from netizens. One user questioned the lapse in security, asking how such items were allowed on board “when scanning is done while entering to station.” Another pointed that “all passengers must understand this was not a hack but a serious safety hazard. Hope this serves as a strong warning to others against attempting such dangerous stunts for content. Public safety must always come first.” A third person wrote, “Indians have no sense of consideration, courtesy or respect towards shared public space.” One more commented, “Indians will risk their lives for saving some money.”
