Scorpio SUV Drives Across Gwalior Railway Platform, Driver Flees
Imagine a big car driving onto a train platform where people are standing - that is what happened in India.
The driver took an SUV onto Platform No.
1 at Gwalior Railway Station, which passengers use to get on and off trains.
The platform was very crowded, so people were scared and quickly moved out of the way.
Guards called the Railway Protection Force, or RPF, saw the car and told the driver to stop.
Instead of stopping, the driver went faster and escaped from the station.
Cameras at the station recorded the whole incident, and videos were shared online.
The police are now looking for the driver by using the car's number plate.
Driving a car on a railway platform is against the rules because it is very dangerous.
The station is being rebuilt, so there was little space, which made the situation even more risky.
Police have promised strict action against anyone who breaks security rules at railway stations.
A black Scorpio SUV (registration 25 BH 1420 R) breached security and drove across Platform No. 1 of Gwalior Railway Station.
The incident, captured on CCTV and shared on social media, caused panic among passengers on the crowded platform.
An RPF constable spotted the SUV entering a restricted area; it passed the train operations section and the passenger canteen.
RPF personnel tried to stop the driver, who ignored warnings, increased speed, and fled the station premises.
The RPF registered a case under the Railway Act; the investigation was handed to Sub-Inspector Avtar Singh Dhakad.
