After the Tweet surfaced online, it garnered a mixed reaction from the users. While some supported the arrest, others criticised the action, calling it “harsh."
Appreciating the effort of the RPF, one user referred to such unauthorised people, who are “often seen moving around various stations in the Mumbai Suburban area." The person urged the Police department to take necessary action against them too.
Good work RPF. Railway stations are meant for safe travel with family and friends. However, Many unauthorised people are often seen moving around various stations, specially in the Mumbai Suburban area. Pl take action against them too. @rpfwr1 @RPFCRBB— Tarzan Boy (@rajivsharma2012) July 10, 2023
A viewer could not find any fault in the arrested man as “he didn’t harm anyone." “Counselling would have been enough," the user suggested.
Arrest ?Councelling would have been enough, he didnt harm anyone, i mean he is just a kid— Arjun (@arjunactual) July 10, 2023
A user thought the young man could be let off with a warning. Instead, he asked the RPF to take action against people who “steal mobile phones or valuables of passengers."
Arresting him is too much, he should be let off with a warning. If you have to arrest, then arrest criminals who steal mobile phones or valuables of passengers.Aur itne josh se toh ticketless travellers ko nahi pakadte unauthorised entry ke liye🙄🙄— Vishal Firke (@vfirke) July 11, 2023
Putting a flavour of sarcasm into the topic, a viewer commented, “Train them and send them to international games."
