A dramatic scene unfolded on a train from Indore to Delhi when a woman, allegedly robbed of her purse, smashed the glass window of her AC compartment in anger. The viral video shows her repeatedly hitting the window with a food tray while shouting, “Mujhe mera purse chahiye. baat khatam,” as a young child beside her looks on silently.

Passengers around appear alarmed as she continues to smash the window in frustration. According to a report by Deccan Herald, the woman had earlier approached the Railway Protection Force (RPF) personnel seeking help regarding her missing purse but was allegedly ignored. The lack of prompt response is believed to have triggered her outburst.
