College students perform stunts with sword-like weapons on train, arrested

Recently, a video from Chennai emerged online, wherein three youngsters were seen brandishing sword-like weapons while they joyously performed stunts in a moving train. In a recent turn of events, the Divisional Railway Manager of Chennai Southern Railway took to its official Twitter handle on 11 October to announce that all three of them have been arrested by the Government Railway Police Tamil Nadu for their inappropriate actions. While sharing the viral video of them performing the stunt, the DRM Chennai revealed that three of them have been identified as Anbarasu, Ravichandran, and Arul. The former two belong to the Gummidipoondi town of Chennai, while Arul resides in Ponneri. The tweet also revealed that they are students of Chennai’s Presidency College.

While sharing the video DRM wrote in the caption, “We would like to inform you that the 3 youths seen in this viral video performing stunts with sharp weapons in their hand have been arrested by Government Railway Police Tamilnadu! They are Anbarasu and Ravichandran from Gummidipoondi and Arul from Ponneri.

The video shows Anbarasu, Ravichandran, and Arul holding some sharp metal objects, which they are dragging on the platform continuously. A person standing at another gate of the train is recording the entire daredevil act.
