Twitterati deemed the punishment justified.
Truly a brilliant judgement. Clean the railway station for three days. 👏🏻 No sarcasm, no jokes. I truly appreciate this decision. Simply wish for more such judgements for other petty crimes. #india #kikichallenge #india #Mumbaihttps://t.co/A67nC7xeD4 pic.twitter.com/Dn487WUmG1

One of the three men, was a Youtuber, about whom a WR official said-
“We will take legal action against Dhruv Shah as Funcho Entertainment belongs to him and even he is featured in this video. Making such videos in local trains is illegal”.
This Funcho Entertainment’s video has reached more than 2 million views.
The challenge, while is not only dangerous for the person performing it, but is also menacing for the other people. Folks, safety first, always. Not just yours, but of your fellow travellers, as well.
