Woman Smoking ‘Marijuana’ All Night Long in express train, co-passenger shares video; watch
Smoking cigarettes in public place is a punishable offence under the Indian Penal Code, and more so, in public transport services, people don’t shy away from being rebellious. Recently, a man traveling on the Tatanagar to Katihar expresses encountered a person who went disobedient and smoked marijuana on the train. He later posted a video of the same on the microblogging platform.
On Monday, a video surfaced on social media in which a girl is seen smoking while standing near the toilet of a bogie. The video was shared on Twitter by Parmanand kumar Saw who claimed that a group of girls smoked ‘Ganja’ (weed or marijuana) and cigarettes inside the train, all night long.
Take a look:

Smoking laws in Indian trains:
Smoking in trains can cost you a lot, so be careful. The Indian Railways considers taking harsh measures against passengers who are caught smoking in trains, including arresting them. According to Section 167, of the Railways Act, anyone found smoking in a compartment despite prohibition or objection from a co-passenger is liable for a fine of up to Rs.100.
The post has triggered mixed reactions from users. While several went on to lash out at Saw as such incidents are quite frequent, some others penned down hilarious comments.
