Jabalpur (Madhya Pradesh): A bizarre incident was reported from Madhya Pradesh's Jabalpur, where a man was caught hiding under a coach of Danapur Express on Thursday. What's even more baffling was, he travelled all the way from Itarsi to Jabalpur (290 kms) hanging under the train's bougie, between the wheels!
It was during a rolling test, near the Jabalpur railway station, when the staff of Carriage and Wagon department found him hiding under the coach.
The employees were conducting a routine under-gear check of the coaches when they found the man lying in the trolley beneath the S4 coach. A video of the man coming out from under the trolley has surfaced on social media and is doing the rounds. The identity of the man has not been revealed yet, but he admitted to boarding the train at Itarsi.
