A video from a train showed the holder of reserved seat 24 arguing with another passenger who would not vacate it, saying he wanted to stay with his wife and children.
The seat holder said he wanted to use his allotted lower berth during the day, while the other man — assigned seat 23 and another berth in coach B1 — rejected moving away from his family.
The dispute escalated after the seat holder warned he would call the TTE or RPF, but the other passenger still insisted the seat should be adjusted for family convenience.
Online reaction split between backing strict respect for reserved seats and arguing the filmer should have swapped berths, turning the clip into a wider debate over rules versus courtesy on Indian trains.
