Indian Railways responds to YouTuber's allegations

Travel vlogger Kanika Devrani says she was drugged and robbed on the Brahmaputra Mail while traveling from Delhi to Guwahati.
She shared that an unauthorized person sprayed something, causing her to pass out at New Jalpaiguri Junction, and she lost her iPhone 15 Pro Max.

TL;DR

Indian Railways said they've escalated the issue

Devrani managed to track her stolen phone to Malda, West Bengal using an app but felt let down by police and railway staff, who she says didn't take her complaints seriously.
After her video gained attention online, Indian Railways said they've escalated the issue.
The incident has sparked fresh calls from the public for better security on trains—think more CCTVs and stricter checks—to keep passengers safe.
