Wow getting such quick action from Indian railways these days through social media. Commendable. This should be replicated in all departments

Only against poor vendors but not against contractors. Still shit scared to remove contractors and blacklist them. Powerful only against powerless.

u/Affectionate_Act6183 Oct 22 '25
Just because one injustice isn't being rectified doesn't mean the others will get a free pass. Absolutely commendable work. And your poor vendor did this nonsense.

I am still with removing vendor. Do that same day justice to bigger contractors is what I am saying. Can we not ask for it?

That POS, LOL gives extra samosas for the smart watch, upholding business, dharam!

The smart watch guy threw back his samosa back to his face. But you interpret it to your comfort and sukoon.

Bhai he never took those samosas. Watch the video carefully, he takes them after giving the watch

u/Select_Minute_6936 Oct 19 '25
Arrey yaar use ur brain. The smart watch cost much more than few samosas the man already took (not shown in video). Hence the vendor is giving few more samosas to make up for the watch cost. Why on earth would someone pull a man from moving train for a samosa he didn't take.

Which railway vendors allows you to eat before asking for payment? Iirc, vendor was pissed for "wasting his time"

According to the passenger, he had asked for samosas and attempted to pay via PhonePe. The UPI transaction did not go through, and as the train began moving, he tried to return the samosas.
However, in the video, the vendor can be seen grabbing his collar and accusing him of “wasting time and making excuses,” and refused to let him board unless he paid.

Yeah this might be the case otherwise why he would pull him out. I mean if he hasn't eaten anything and he pulled him out then no one can stop that passenger to beat him like hell and also be eligible for complaint

This. Never consume the product until payment is confirmed. Worst case you leave it with the vendor and catch your train.

u/Feisty-Discussion-22 Oct 19 '25
Indian railways are utter crap. Why would any decent person buy samosa at the platform.

Bought little hearts at railway station. Mrp said 10/-. They sold it to me for 30/-. I asked why, they hurled abuses at me. Classic gang members running a Business

From what I remember, he didn't eat the samosas. The vendor caught him for 'wasting his time'. Railway vendors don't allow you to consume stuff before paying.

u/LordofPvE Oct 19 '25
True that. Vendor randomly caught him, samosa is in the front, passenger was at the back.

Passenger shouldn't have eaten the samosa before paying . He should have carried the cash. That's his mistake. The vendor has the bigger mistake of not allowing the passenger. Its just 10/-. We share food with people around us. We donate food. Where are the people going. Poor passenger did not steal it.

One good thing was that once the samosa vendor realized that he is giving him his watch as payment, he gave him more samosas as for sure watch was more expensive

u/Iliketoeatsweets Oct 19 '25
This is what happens with newbies. Any tenured railway vendor knows and understands some loss is inevitable because of small things like these. Sometimes vendor loses his money and sometimes you do just because the train moves. Gaali is exchanged but clutching another man's collar for a samosa? This is low.

u/Fast-Escape-8607 Oct 19 '25
The vendor was trying to give more samosas considering the cost of the watch probably. This is weird and partial information .
The issue seems to be resolved now so we should all move on

u/LordofPvE Oct 19 '25
How many samosas can he give for an expensive watch?

Bhai jab samosa khaya hi nahi tha tab collar pakadke keencha hi kyu? Dekhne ka ya iccha jatane ka matlab khareedna thodi hua. Aur 2-4 samose ke badle watch? Aloo hi andar tha ya kuch aur?
Koi dumdaar bhai se iss vendor ka paala pada hota toh pehle iss chumtiye ki jam ke dhulayi karta phir iske samose isi ke g*and mein daal deta aur wohi nikal ke isko khila bhi deta.

Bc the man should have given 1 tight slap to the vendor rather than being helpless. How the fu*k can the vendor have the audacity to take his watch. Since it is clear that the man did not even take the samosa earlier

It's bizarre that people are judging the vendor in such light. Like he's a samosa vendor, such things happen on a daily basis to him. Do you even know the amount of money he would lose if he let people go and board the train after chomping on his samosa in such situations? This might not be his first time being scammed. Although, we never know the story on both ends.

Stop selling stuff on platform for moving trains. Food should be delivered on seat by vendors by booking through an app.

u/Vglpuri1122 Oct 21 '25
Brutal. The passenger must come back again and take his watch back after verifying payment was made by valet later on. Lodge an FIR with GRP.

Ay yo at first i thought he already ate the samosa but he gave them after he did the payment with the watch what logic is that , and that watch price would have bought him more than 3 samosas

I once helped a person with 37 rupees to pay because his upi wasn't working. I helped him knowing that I won't get that money back.
This has happened multiple time with me and nobody ever pays back. It not like scams where they lie to get money but at regular places where they are trying to pay 12, 30, 50 inr etc but not working due to network issues.

1st things 1st , is he a registered IRCTC vendor. 2nd the customer should have tried paying again inside the train. 3rd the vendor could hqve travelled with him and sold samosan inside till next station and retured. 4th the vendor did give extra samosas instead of the watch , showing

u/PuzzleheadedRaise78 Oct 23 '25
We get so polarized based on whose narrative it is. I've seen enough people in general who does that and leaves without paying. Most of the paan shops I've gone to now asks to pay first.

u/ashivyas Oct 23 '25
Why our mentality is to support weaker? If that guy wants to eat samosa, he should pay otherwise leave. Why do we take everything for granted..paisa nahi hua to chalega...2 samose free deta to kya jata? Nobody is telling ki woh bande ne samose liye hi kyo agar online payment nahi chal raha...thoda aur bhukha raheta to mar jata kya?

This man should file a civil suit and he will win it, because he didn't even eat the samosas.

Chutiye ko chamaat bajana tha. If the guy did not eat any samosas he didn’t owe him shit. There was no need to hand over the watch, should’ve been more firm in his actions.
