  "account": "In a recent incident at Shivnarayanpur Railway Station in Bihar's Bhagalpur district, a mobile snatcher was apprehended by passengers when he attempted to steal a mobile phone from a passenger on a moving train. The youth was caught as he reached through the window of the train's general coach to snatch the phone. Passengers dragged him alongside the running train for some distance, causing him to fall and sustain injuries by the end of the platform. The Railway Protection Force (RPF) later arrested the accused. A 50-second video of the incident has gained attention on social media. The incident occurred at Shivnarayanpur Railway Station, located under the Eastern Railway Zone (ERZ) of the RPF. The identity of the youth involved and other details remain undisclosed. The Chief Public Relations Officer (CPRO) of Eastern Railway confirmed that the video is old and provided no further information.",
