A viral social media video claiming that a loco pilot stopped a train to buy samosas has been debunked by the Indian Railways, which clarified that the train was halted for an entirely different reason.
What the Viral Video Claimed
The video, widely shared on social media, appeared to show a loco pilot stepping off a stationary train and purchasing samosas from a vendor. Many users claimed the train had been deliberately stopped for the snack break.
Railways Issues Clarification
The Indian Railways has fact-checked the viral claim, stating that:
The train was not stopped to buy samosas.
The halt was due to operational and railway-related reasons, not for personal purchases.
The video was misleadingly presented on social media, leading to false conclusions.
Railway officials urged people not to believe or circulate misleading content without verifying the facts.
Viral Videos Can Be Misleading
The clarification serves as a reminder that short video clips shared online often lack context, and official information should be considered before drawing conclusions or sharing such content.
