A passenger at Jabalpur railway station lost his watch over a failed UPI payment for samosas on October 17. The vendor, Sandeep Gupta, grabbed the passenger's collar when his train began departing. After unsuccessful digital payment attempts, the passenger surrendered his watch. The viral video sparked online debate after some condemned the act as "shameful" while others defended the vendor's right to payment. West Central Railway identified and arrested Gupta under Railway Act, cancelling his license. However, many questioned the harsh action against the poor vendor, noting the video showed him giving additional samosas after receiving the watch, suggesting he only sought legitimate payment, not theft.
