The arrested accused have been identified as Nishant Rajendra Shah, 20, Dhruv Anil Shah, 23, and Shyam Rajkumar Sharma, 24. Their punishment: Visiting Vasai and Virar stations for the next three days and spreading awareness among commuters to not do such stunts.

Caught on camera
Nishant is the founder of the YouTube channel Funcho and came under the RPF's scanner after officers saw a video featuring the three, which was put up on the online platform.

The video, which has over 1.4 million views, has one of them running and dancing next to a moving train, while two others onboard hanging out and filming him. Talking to mid-day, G N Mall, Virar RPF inspector, said, "With the help of local intelligence, we tracked down the boys and arrested them under sections 145(B), 147 and 156 of the Railways Act."
