In related news, a Hyderabad man lost close to Rs 6,000 after he used the toilet inside a Vande Bharat Express train at the Rani Kamalapati railway station in Bhopal.

As per a report in India Today, Abdul Qadir was traveling to Singrauli in Madhya Pradesh with his wife and eight-year-old son. The family arrived in Bhopal and were about to take another train to Singrauli.

At the railway station, the man felt an urgent need to urinate but could not find a toilet nearby so he entered a Vande Bharat Express, which was Indore-bound, to use the toilet. But when he came out of the toilet, he found the doors to be locked. The train was leaving the station. The man tried to take help from the police and ticket collectors but was told that only the train driver could open the door. He was then fined Rs 1,020 for boarding the train without a ticket and was allowed to get off at Ujjain where he had to pay Rs 750 for a bus ticket to return to Bhopal and reunite with his family.
