Mumbai Rains: Vivek Agnihotri Shares Old Video Of Man Falling From Local Train, Says 'Every Maharashtra Govt Left Citizens To Die'

Amid heavy rains in the Maximum City and overcrowding of trains in the monsoon season, The Kashmir Files director Vivek Agnihotri yet again reacted to a 2-year-old video of a man falling from a Mumbai local train. Expressing disappointment, he took to his X (formerly known as Twitter) and said that 'seven to ten people die everyday in local train.'

Vivek wrote, "A man falls off the Mumbai local train AGAIN. SEVEN TO TEN people DIE every day in Mumbai local train accidents. Yes, every day. Can we become a ‘Vishvaguru’ by being blind to this? Every successive government in Maharashtra has left the citizens to die."

Check out the video:

In the video, the packed local train shows a man dressed in blue hanging outside. Moments later, he loses his balance and falls. Several passengers from another train, who were recording the incident, expressed their displeasure.

Recently, Agnhitori shared a video of commuters walking on railway tracks to reach their offices after the local train service failed amid heavy rainfall in Mumbai. The filmmaker wrote on X, “Mumbaikars walking on railway tracks to reach their office due to failure of local train service. Just ask a simple question: Can you even imagine torture of citizens like this in any civilised country?”

Free Press Journal's 2022 report of the viral video that has resurfaced now

A horrific video of a young train commuter hitting a pole and being flung off on the tracks between Kalwa and Thane emerged on Thursday morning (June 23, 2022). Thankfully, the 19-year-old victim had a miraculous escape and didn’t sustain any head injuries, though he landed in hospital with multiple fractures.

Danish Khan was travelling on the footboard and hanging out of the train, watching some others on the train on the parallel track shoot a video. While doing so, he hit a pole and was thrown off, with commuters from both trains watching in horror. Some of them even thought that he succumbed owing to the hit.

The video of the accident was shot by Mayur Limaye, a railway fan, who was travelling in the Pune-Mumbai Deccan Queen Express on the parallel track.

Senior railway officials then said, “Typically stunts are recorded and these videos go viral across social media platforms and messaging groups. This emboldens others to try out similar stunts. We hope at least this video will prove to be a deterrent as it shows just how these stunts can go wrong. Read Full Story Here:
