The incident, which has now gone viral on social media, shows the woman losing her temper after receiving no help from railway officials.
According to reports, the woman’s purse was stolen while the train was on its way to Delhi.
She approached the Railway Protection Force (RPF) and requested help in finding her belongings, but the officers allegedly ignored her complaint and did not take any action.
Frustrated and angry, the woman began shouting inside the coach and started breaking the train’s window glass. "Mera purse do..baat khatam," she told those urging her to not break the glass window.
Railway employees repeatedly tried to stop her, but the woman continued to break the window knowing the glass pieces were injuring her.
The incident has sparked debate online, while some people say her frustration was understandable after being ignored by authorities, others argue that damaging railway property is not the right way to protest.
Some expressed concern for the child, saying the act was dangerous and could have harmed the child as well.
Officials have not yet released any statement regarding action taken in the case.
