Vande Bharat Express staffer slapped by passenger for serving non-veg food by mistake; fellow passengers support waiter – “Maafi Mango”
Social media users are sharing a video of an altercation between a waiter and a customer on the Vande Bharat Express train from Howrah to Ranchi a lot. A waiter accidentally gave a vegetarian guest a non-vegetarian lunch, setting off unfortunate sequence of events.
The elderly passenger did not notice the “non-vegetarian” symbol on the packaged meal, and consumed the food. Realizing what he ate was not vegetarian, the furious passenger allegedly slapped the waiter twice. The incident happened on July 26.
The viral video shows passengers confronting the elderly passenger, asking him to apologise to the waiter. “Kahan likha hua hai? (Where is it mentioned?),” the man can be heard saying, possibly about the symbol. “Kyun mara isko? Itna umar ho gaya hai! (Why would you slap him? Look at your age!),” a co-passenger says. The waiter, meanwhile, can be seen apologising profusely.
In another video, other passengers can be seen asking the elderly man to apologise to the waiter in front of the cops. Sharing the video, an X user Kapil wrote, “A person slapped a waiter for mistakenly serving him non-vegetarian food. Others came to support the waiter.”

Reacting to the video, a user wrote, “Rare to see citizens standing up for the right things.” Another user commented, “Good to see PPL awakening against the netagiri and gundagardi. Society should not be a playground of power tussle.”
“Didn’t expect that fellow passenger will support the waiter,” a third user wrote.
In January, a video of two passengers fighting over luggage space on a Vande Bharat Express train was widely circulated. The viral video shows two men screaming at each other, following which a railway officer steps in to calm them down.
