JAMMU: A heated altercation broke out on the Begampura Express, travelling from Uttar Pradesh’s Varanasi to Jammu Tawi, after a YouTuber asked for a bill for a cup of coffee. According to a viral video, the pantry car manager allegedly misbehaved with the YouTuber and slapped him during the argument. The incident began when the YouTuber bought a cup of coffee for Rs 20 from a pantry staff member but was denied a bill. Suspecting overcharging, he started filming and demanded proof of purchase. The pantry boy reportedly asked him to turn off the camera, leading the YouTuber to call the manager. When the manager arrived, he insisted that the YouTuber stop recording. After a brief argument, the manager offered the coffee for free, but the YouTuber refused. The situation escalated further when the manager, too, began recording the YouTuber, sparking a heated exchange that ultimately led to the manager slapping him.
