Man locked inside Vande Bharat Express after entering it to take photos at AP's Rajahmundry

A curious man entered Vande Bharat Express to take photos and, to his shock, the automated doors locked him inside. The train staff scolded him and said that the doors would open only in the next station, which is Vijayawada. The man had to travel six hours for a small mistake he made in his hurry to look inside the newly launched train.

Hyderabad: A man got locked inside the newly launched Vande Bharat Express between Hyderabad and Visakhapatnam. The man entered a coach of the train at Rajahmundry railway station to take a look and click photos. The automated doors locked once the train started. The man remained locked inside till the next station.

The stranded man pleaded with the TTE and train staff to open the doors but to no avail. The travel ticket examiner (TTE) scolded the man. A video has surfaced online where the man can be seen trying to unlock the automatic doors of the semi-automatic train. When the TTE questioned him, he replied that he just wanted to take a picture of the train. The TTE clarified to the man that the doors will only unlock at the next station in Vijayawada.

"Why did you come inside to take a picture? Do you have any idea about what you did? You can't open the door for six hours. It will stop next in Vijayawada. Now enjoy the journey," said the TTE. "You could have taken pictures from outside the train or from another angle. Now you have to travel unnecessarily for six hours on the train," said another train official.
