  • YouTuber Gulzar Sheikh Arrested For Endangering Railway Passengers Lives For Content Creation |

    YouTuber Gulzar Sheikh has been arrested following allegations of placing various objects, including cycles, soaps, and stones, on railway tracks for content creation. The arrest came after the Legal Hindu Defence filed a complaint, with BJP national spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla announcing the news on X (formerly Twitter).

    The controversy began when X user “TrainWaleBhaiya” shared a video showing Sheikh’s dangerous activities. The user highlighted the risks to passengers, stating, “This is Mr. Gulzar Sheikh from Lalgopalganj, UP, who puts random things in front of trains for YouTube money, putting the lives of thousands of passengers in danger.” This post prompted calls for immediate action from Indian Railways and local authorities.
