Video of boy placing stones on railway track in Karnataka goes viral


Bengaluru, Jun 6 (IANS): Days after the horrific train accident in Odisha's Balasore district left 275 people dead, a video showing a minor boy placing stones on railway tracks in Karnataka went viral on social media on Monday.

The video shows the boy who placed stones at a long stretch of the track is caught and questioned by the people. A man also drags the boy and makes him remove the stones from the railway track.

When the people question the boy as to why he put stone on the track and for how many days he has been doing this, the boy confessed that this was the first time he did this, adding that no one asked him to do so.

When a man says that he should be handed over to the police, the boy touches his feet and pleads to not hand him over to the police.

A Twitter user named Arun Pudur, who claims to be an entrepreneur, shared the video and urged Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw and the authorities to look into the matter.

"This is a serious issue. An underage boy was caught sabotaging the railway track in Karnataka. We have tens of thousands of kilometres of railway tracks and forget adults, now even kids are being used for sabotaging and causing deaths," he wrote.

"Who is training these kids to do this," Pudur questioned.

    Why this guy Pudur post this video in social media... He should have sent this to railway police... What is the intention of posting in social media but not informing railway authorities... Did this boy placing stones happen after odisha accident or before... Is this effort by I T cell to point finger elsewhere.

    The government is creating elevated corridor for bullet train but doesn't care about the trains which carry crores of people daily. All railway profilts is going into the bullet train project which is useless.

    Hats off to the people for their timely intervention. But they made blunder mistake. They should have handed over them to the concerned authority even though they are underage boys to find up the truth.

    Whoever he is first he will be questioned by the railway police and then handed over to the state police, who according to you are now soft on minorities. It is such a serious matter, do you think police will apprehend or let him off depending on his community?

    This may not be sabotage. The child might be playing with stones and now to project Odisha incident as sabotage, these guys are victimizing the child

    Better would have should empty all illegal occupants who made there homes near railway tracks. Government should take stern action in this matter otherwise a big catastrophe is going to happen in near future beyond imagination. Cruel mind.
