The Railway Protection Force had taken upon itself the challenge to track down the stunt performers. A Kiki challenge that the three had also performed on an ambulance is what got them in the net of the Railway Protection Force. The investigating team tracked down the owner of the ambulance seen in the video. The owner led the investigators to the three accused who were arrested on Wednesday.

“They were in tears when we got them,” said an official. The three were produced in the railway court at Vasai later in the day. The railway court has ordered them to clean up Vasai railway station for three days this week. Also,
they have to undertake a drive to make people aware of the danger involved in performing such stunts. The tasks have to be performed from 11 am to 2 pm and from 3 pm to 5 pm.
