Punishment for four youth who were trying to use an elevator meant only for handicapped and senior citizens became an education as a Railway Magistrate ordered them to engage in community service for two days by spreading awareness about reserved elevators.

The four youth, Mitesh Shivram Solanki, 25, Vidhan Ashok Shiladkar, 20, Sachin Ghanilal Yadav, 18, and Santosh Sharma, 25, were caught at an elevator at Virar railway station by Railway Magistrate RN Chavan on October 5. "The moment they pressed the button for the elevator, the magistrate saw them and told us to bring them to his mobile court at Virar," said an officer attached to the Railway Protection Force (RPF), Virar.
