In his post, the user wrote, "Shameful incident at Jabalpur Railway Station. A passenger asked for samosas, PhonePe payment failed, and the train started moving. The samosa seller grabbed the passenger's collar, accused him of wasting time, and forced the money/samosa. The passenger had to remove his watch to catch his train. Now even travelling by train is not safe."

Moneycontrol could not independently verify the incident.

As per X post, the passenger attempted to pay via UPI, but the transaction failed. As the train began departing, the passenger rushed toward it, prompting the vendor to grab his collar. When the passenger tried to escape, the vendor allegedly took his watch by force, sparking outrage among other travelers.
