Departmental Inquiry Ordered After Viral Assault Video at Gwalior Railway StationPreviousNext

A viral video from June 29 shows a man at Gwalior Railway Station being assaulted by passengers after a woman accused him of attempting to steal her gold earring. The Railway Protection Force rescued the man and handed him to the Government Railway Police (GRP). The GRP faced criticism for allegedly not taking prompt legal action, leading to a departmental inquiry and the transfer of a Sub-Inspector. Police are investigating the incident and identifying those involved in the assault, with no formal complaint filed yet.
