The video has gone viral, garnering over one million views. The video attracted numerous comments from netizens, with some also tagging Ashwini Vaishnaw, Union Minister of Railways of India, to bring the issue to his attention.
“I can bet this is not the first time she did that,” a user said, while another commented, “This can be addressed easily by imposing a very steep fine if caught travelling without a ticket or if you are travelling in a class where you don't have a ticket. Limit the waiting and unreserved tickets."
