The authenticity of the video, including when and where it was recorded, has not been independently verified.

The video has drawn strong reactions online, with several users questioning how such behaviour could occur inside an AC coach where families, children and elderly passengers also travel.

One user wrote: “Inko penalty aisi lagao future m koi himmat na kre wine pine ki or na pi kr chale train mein." Another commented: “Rules, laws, morals now only exist in books, not ingrained in Indians." A third user remarked: “In new India, rules don’t exist anymore. It’s about whims & wishes of the bully, forced upon the helpless. One incident of alcohol in train is video recorded & shown here, where lakhs of such incidents occur daily where families suffer & authorities do not care."

Another social media user urged authorities to restrict future travel by those involved, saying: “Please ban these guys from booking tickets anymore. Restrict their Aadhaar."
