Usne Shyd Kuch Spray Kara Content Creator Alleges Drugged, Robbed On Train To Guwahati
New Delhi: A travel vlogger and social media influencer has alleged that she was drugged and robbed while travelling in a 2AC coach of the Brahmaputra Mail, sparking fresh concerns over passenger security on Indian Railways.
Kanika Devrani, a YouTuber with more than 479 thousand Instagram followers, detailed the incident in a video shared on social media. The alleged theft took place during her journey from Delhi to Guwahati.
In the video, Devrani claimed she lost consciousness mid-journey and later discovered that her iPhone had been stolen by the time the train reached New Jalpaiguri station in West Bengal. "Usne shyd kuch spray kara, jisse shyd mereko kuch sense nahi hua, kyuki koi bhi agar asie travel krta hai toh mind toh alert rehta hi hai," she added. She alleged that an unauthorised individual entered her coach, possibly sprayed a sedative, and stole her phone.
'First-class AC tickets weren't available, so I booked a 2AC ticket, thinking it would be equally safe. But I was wrong,' she said in Hindi, adding, 'Maine socha first AC aur second AC dono mein safety toh hoti hi hai.'
She raised concerns about security lapses, questioning how someone without a valid ticket could gain access to a reserved compartment. 'How can someone just enter the train without a ticket? Maybe it was someone local, or someone posing as railway staff, I have no idea,' she said.
According to Devrani, a fellow passenger seated near her also reported a similar experience. 'The uncle next to me said his phone was also stolen. He was awake for the past four hours and was shocked that he didn't notice anything happening,' she added.
Devrani claimed the coach warden downplayed the issue, allegedly saying, 'Train mein toh koi bhi chala jata hai,' implying bad security on board.
She further alleged that Railway Protection Force (RPF) officials were uncooperative, even after she was able to trace her phone to Malda district in West Bengal using a tracking app. 'Initially, the phone wasn't traceable. But around 9:30 am, someone answered my mother's repeated calls and kept asking for the password,' she said.

Six arrested for robbing mobile phones from train passengers
Six persons, including a minor, allegedly involved in robbing mobile phones of passengers aboard moving trains were arrested by a joint squad of the Railway Protection Force, Railway Police, and the Aluva police here on Monday. The arrested are Siraj M., 26, Joswin Eldow, 18, Ashiq K. A., 21, Muhammad Fazal, 18, and Sheffin, 18. Allegedly, they were also behind the alleged theft of an iPhone from a passenger aboard Malabar Express near the Aluva railway station on Sunday. As the train was chugging along a bridge shortly after leaving the station, the gang allegedly hit the passenger who was sitting on the footboard by the door with a long pole. Despite falling to the ground and injuring his hand, the passenger, identified as Suhail Shanavas, who was headed to Shoranur, reportedly fought the gang. But he was overpowered, and the phone worth around ₹75,000, a pair of wireless earbuds worth around ₹1,500, and ₹700 were allegedly robbed. The phone and other booties were recovered from the accused. 'The accused were substance abusers and were into robbery to finance their addiction. They normally targeted trains bound for north India convinced that passengers in transit were very unlikely to complain. They usually operated in the area near the Aluva railway station and targeted trains headed in the northern direction,' said Muhammad Haneef, RPF Security Commissioner, Thiruvananthapuram. It was the same point where the passenger was allegedly attacked on Sunday. Incidentally, they also reportedly followed the same modus operandi with which they attacked the passenger. They targeted passengers sitting or standing near open doors on slow-moving trains just after leaving the station. They strike the hands of the targeted passengers to dispossess them of their phones. 'They copied this modus operandi from north Indian gangs. However, it could even prove fatal at times as passengers could very easily fall on the tracks. The passenger who was attacked the other day was lucky to escape,' said Mr. Haneef.
