Vagabond takes charge of Sealdah - Barrackpore EMU Local train

Funny incident at Sealdah (Kolkata) station on the Sealdah - Barrackpore EMU Up Local scheduled for departure at 9.10am on 2014-08-06.
Driver left the train with the door to his cabin unlocked.
A vagabond (drug addicted man) entered into the driver's cabin and locked himself inside.
Driver was unable to enter his cabin and called Railway Protection Force (RPF).
RPF tried to get the vagabond out from driver’s cabin but failed.
The vagabond was busy eating inside the driver’s cabin and seemingly enjoyed the commotion outside.
RPF lured the vagabond with food, biri/cigarette, drugs, money, etc. but failed. No amount of motivation worked.
Finally, RPF opened the door by continuous hammering and thrashed the culprit.
Needless to mention, the train was late in departing from Sealdah station.
See the entire incident in picture.
