A video purportedly from a Bihar-bound train showed a man trying to find himself a comfortable space in the crowded coach. He was seen setting up his makeshift hammock with a bedsheet from his luggage by tightly tying it to the available poles near the berths. However, the jugaad looked like a good one but failed to carry his weight. WATCH VIDEO:
The video opened showing a passenger preparing a hammock connecting two upper berths to enjoy a nap during the train travel, however, things didn't go as he wished. As soon as he landed inside it, the bedsheet opened leading to the man's fall. The man dramatically fell on the floor, hurting other commuters seated there in the crowded premises.
