Railway vendor uses toilet water to make tea; fined Rs 1 lakh

A railway vendor has been imposed a fine of Rs 1 lakh for using toilet water on trains to make tea and coffee.

The incident took place back in December last year on the Chennai Central-Hyderabad Charminar Express and was filmed by a passenger. The video which has gone viral showed a man in a blue shirt inside the toilet of a train in Telangana filling tea cans with water. Later, he is seen handing over the can to a vendor standing outside the door.

Social media users expressed disgust and questioned railway authorities who then imposed the fine.
