Overview

Criminal activities involving smuggling and theft have been reported on Indian railways. In late August 2026, railway police at Ballia station in Uttar Pradesh arrested a coach attendant for allegedly smuggling liquor into Bihar to exploit prohibition laws.

Shortly thereafter, separate incidents occurred on different lines. On the Bandra-Bhuj Superfast Special train, passengers intercepted three suspected bootleggers attempting to flee with a large consignment of foreign liquor and beer. In Hyderabad, police arrested two individuals for allegedly sedating a passenger on the Sabari Superfast Express to steal a mobile phone and cash.
