A man casually walking through a train coach with a live snake draped around his neck has sparked shock and outrage online. The unsettling scene, caught on video aboard the Ahmedabad-bound Sabarmati Express, shows him asking passengers for money while parading the snake likely a non-venomous rat snake just inches from their faces. Some passengers, visibly uncomfortable, were seen giving him money, seemingly out of fear or pressure.

The video quickly gained traction after being posted on social media platform X. “Man with snake boarded at Mungaoli (M.P.) New way of taking out money from hard-working labour class inside Indian Railways,” the user wrote, tagging railway authorities.

The clip triggered an outpouring of concern over passenger safety and unchecked harassment on trains. “This isn't entertainment, it's extortion exploiting vulnerable people,” one user commented, while others shared their own unsettling experiences on Indian trains, urging stricter action.
