On social media, video of water leakage inside a train goes viral. While sharing the video users claim that “after Temple, Bridge & Airports…. Here comes the video from Vande Bharat Train. Roof of world class VandeBharat train is leaking. Passengers in train gets free shower facility”.
Fact Check:
On investigation, DFRAC team found a signboard that carried the train number “12215/12216” and Coach number G-12 in the end of the video. We searched the train number and found that the name of the train was called ‘Delhi Sarai Rohilla – Bandra Terminus Garib Rath Express (12215)’. As per the ‘Indian rail info‘ website, the train’s type was identified as Garib Rath.
Furthermore, we also found a tweet from official X accounts of Western Railways states “On June 27, 2024, water leakage was observed in coach G-12 of train number 12215, Bandra Terminus – Delhi Sarai Rohilla Garib Rath Express, between Ajmer and Falna stations (this is not a Vande Bharat train)”.
Conclusion:
It is evident from the DFRAC fact check that the footage of water leakage inside a train is not from a Vande Bharat train but Delhi Sarai Rohilla- Bandra Garib Rath Express. Therefore, the claim of social media users is misleading.
