In a significant operation, the Railway Protection Force (RPF) detained an individual known as 'Bengali Baba,' who was allegedly sticking unauthorized promotional posters inside railway coaches and toilets. This operation took place on February 17, 2026, under the guidance of the Senior Divisional Security Commissioner of the Central Railway in Mumbai as part of a special campaign aimed at curbing such illegal activities. The posters confiscated from the individual promised solutions to various relationship and sexual problems, attracting significant attention during the investigation.

The arrest was facilitated by credible intelligence received by the RPF regarding a fake baba operating in the Rey Road area. Acting on this information, a joint raid was conducted in the Darukhana locality near the Meera Ali Dargah. During the raid, a person named Mohammad Nazir Andari was apprehended, and approximately 15,000 printed posters meant for advertising in the railway coaches were seized. This underscores the ongoing issue of unauthorized advertising and scams being carried out using public resources without due permission, highlighting the need for vigilance among railway authorities.

The incident sheds light on the broader implications of such fraudulent activities that exploit vulnerable individuals seeking assistance in personal matters. The RPF's proactive approach in bringing this case to light not only addresses the illegal use of railway properties but serves as a warning against the proliferation of such dubious characters targeting the public under the guise of offering solutions to personal problems. This case exemplifies the importance of community awareness and timely intervention by authorities in maintaining public order and safety in railway precincts.
