Twitterati comment
Since its posting on July 10, the video has garnered over 160,000 views, with the numbers steadily rising. Twitter users expressed a range of opinions, with some applauding the RPF's actions and others criticising them.
One Twitter user commented, "Good work RPF. Railway stations are meant for safe travel with family and friends. However, many unauthorised individuals are often seen loitering around various stations." Another user countered, "I don't see any nuisance created by the person in this video. The railway platform appears quite empty, and he isn't inconveniencing passengers. If this occurred in a crowded station, it would be understandable, but not here." Others chimed in with sentiments of approval or advising the man to avoid such activities at stations in the future.
The incident serves as a reminder of the risks individuals take for the sake of social media attention and raises important discussions about safety and appropriate behaviour in public spaces.
