Hooliganism by youngsters on trains is a problem Mumbai has been dealing with for years. Every day, one hears stories of teenage boys hanging out of trains, harassing commuters, blocking exits and generally being a colossal nuisance.

Most of us either turn a blind eye to these youngsters or do not want the hassle of looking for an official to complain to. More often than not, these youngsters are off the train even before one can dial the police helpline. This time, however, one of them snatched the phone out the hands of a commuter at GTB Nagar station. They had then stupidly uploaded a video of them performing dangerous stunts and finally robbing the commuter. Thanks to the wide reach of social media, the cops cracked down on the hooligans in quick time and had them in custody within days.
