In an unusual incident in central India’s Chhattisgarh, a man dressed as Spider-Man was apprehended by Railway Protection Force (RPF) personnel.

The incident took place at railway station of Bilaspur district on September 20.

According to reports, the man told authorities that he was inspired by Spider-Man and aimed to gain online popularity by making videos in costume. After being questioned by the RPF, he was warned about the prohibition on making such videos at the station and was later released without charges. Officials noted that since the man had no malicious intent and did not disturb anyone, they issued a strict warning and let him go.
