A clip capturing the exact moment a thief snatches a passenger’s mobile phone from a moving train, right as it passes through a dark tunnel in Mumbai, has left social media users both shocked and amused.
In the video, a vlogger is seen filming a segment to highlight how thieves often target passengers during tunnel crossings. Ironically, while explaining the situation, the vlogger himself becomes the victim – his phone is swiftly snatched mid-recording, leaving him stunned and speechless.
The video was shared on X by @Radheradhegirl with the cheeky caption: “Pehle content zaruri hai (Making content is more important).”
Since being posted, the clip has garnered over 2.2 million views, with 5.4 thousand likes on the social media platform.

One amused user commented, “Tell me, you sacrificed your phone to make people aware…”
Another joked, “Cameraman ke phone ko kuch nahi hota (Nothing ever happens to the cameraman’s phone).”
While this incident may seem too strange to be true, it’s not the first time such thefts have been caught on camera. Last year, a video of a man snatching a phone from a girl sitting by the train window also went viral. In another shocking case from Bihar, a thief perched on a bridge managed to grab a phone from a moving train, leaving viewers astounded. The thief’s swift acrobatics even led netizens to compare him to Spider-Man.

In another shocking incident that had once gone viral, a thief was caught on CCTV camera snatching a woman’s purse from a moving train – and almost pulling her off in the process.
The footage, widely shared on social media at the time, showed the man climbing onto the door of a moving train and suddenly grabbing the woman passenger’s purse. As he tugged at it, the woman was nearly dragged out of the train. Thankfully, a co-passenger quickly intervened and pulled her back inside.
