FACT CHECK

NewsMobile fact-checked the post and found it to be false.

Firstly, we searched for related news items but couldn’t find corroborating reports.

We then found a tweet by the government’s nodal agency Press Information Bureau (PIB), published on April 9, 2021, in which it stated that the video of crowded Mumbai CST platform is old.

The East Cost Railway and Northeast Frontier Railway under the Ministry of Railways, also published tweets on April 9, 2021, debunking the claim.

On digging further, we found a tweet by Shivaji M Sutar, Chief Public Relations Officer, Central Railway, Mumbai, stating that a case has been registered by GRP Mumbai CSMT under relevant sections of IPC for investigation over the edited video of the crowded station.

Hence, from the above information, it is clear that the video showing a heavily crowded CST railway station is old.
