A viral video claiming a youth travelled 250 km from Itarsi to Jabalpur by sitting between the wheels of a Pune-Danapur Express train has been debunked by PIB Fact Check and Indian Railways. Officials labeled the claim “misleading,” emphasising that it is physically impossible to sit on a train’s wheel axle due to its constant motion and design. Indian Railways clarified that the individual seen in the video is mentally challenged, and the claim of such a journey is baseless. A train’s axle connects the wheels and remains in continuous motion, making the alleged act unfeasible. The viral video has drawn significant attention online, but authorities have urged the public not to believe or share unverified information.
