For many, a train journey is the perfect time to catch up on calls, but speaking on the phone near a window has become risky, as thieves can forcefully yank the device out of the user’s hands. This is shown in a video shared an RPF personnel on Instagram. However, the video shows him snatching the phone from a woman’s hand for a very good reason – to create awareness about mobile theft.
