A passenger was left outside the Vande Bharat Express at Howrah Station because the automatic doors closed and the train started moving. Distressed, he ran alongside the train until an RPF jawan intervened, ran toward the driver, and successfully signaled him to stop.
Vande Bharat Express trains are equipped with modern automatic plug doors that close automatically after the train starts moving to ensure passenger safety at speeds up to 160 kilometers per hour.
