The incident happened on July 5, 2022. The accused had left his home to get his empty gas cylinder filled. While crossing a railway track, a train came on that track and Gangaram ran away to save himself, leaving the cylinder on the tracks. The RPF escort present on the train caught him after the train stopped&#8221;. According to Singh, the accused, a resident of Pilibhit in Uttar Pradesh, used to work as a labourer in Gaula River in Uttarakhand and didn&#8217;t have a past criminal record. He was arrested and released on bail after around two months.<\/p>\n<p>Singh also confirmed that the incident did not result in any accident or casualty, and that the cylinder was empty.<\/p>\n<p>Hence, an old video of a cylinder being retrieved from railway tracks is being shared with the unfounded claim that a larger conspiracy targeting the government is at play. Some users gave the incident a communal spin, claiming that Muslims were responsible for throwing a filled gas cylinder on the tracks. In reality, a person named Gangaram was carrying an empty cylinder and crossing the tracks. As a train came on that line, he rushed to save himself leaving the cylinder on the tracks. This was an incident from July 5, 2022. The accused is a labourer from Uttarakhand with no past criminal record.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Days after the horrific Odisha train accident that claimed nearly 300 lives and left over 800 injured, a video that shows a ruptured gas cylinder being retrieved from railway tracks has gone viral.
