Samosa Vendor Arrested After Failed UPI Payment Leads to Alleged Smartwatch Seizure at Railway Station

In a surprising turn of events at Jamalpur railway station, an Indian Railways samosa vendor found himself behind bars after a failed digital payment escalated into a dramatic confrontation involving a passenger's smartwatch. The incident, which has since garnered significant attention online, underscores the sometimes-unforeseen complications of modern transactions.

The ordeal began when Saurabh Kumar, a passenger at platform number 1, purchased samosas worth Rs 30 from vendor Rahul Kumar.

When Saurabh attempted to pay via the popular Unified Payments Interface (UPI), the transaction unfortunately failed. What followed, according to reports, was a contentious exchange where vendor Rahul allegedly coerced Saurabh into surrendering his smartwatch as a guarantee for the unpaid amount.

Feeling aggrieved, Saurabh promptly reported the incident to the Railway Protection Force (RPF) personnel stationed at Jamalpur.

Responding swiftly to the complaint, RPF officers apprehended the samosa vendor, Rahul Kumar. Following his arrest, Rahul was handed over to the Government Railway Police (GRP), who subsequently registered a formal case against him.

A video clip purportedly showing parts of the incident quickly went viral across social media platforms, further amplifying the unusual nature of the situation.

RPF officials have since confirmed the incident, stating that an appropriate legal course of action is being pursued. This peculiar case serves as a cautionary tale about resolving payment disputes, especially in public and often crowded spaces like railway stations, and the importance of digital transaction reliability.
