Bobby Jasoos, a 2014 Bollywood movie, based on the life of a private detective played by Vidya Balan, seems to have won a few fans in the department of Central Railways. 

Inspired by the movie, which otherwise failed to do too well at the box office, officials at the department of Central Railways are planning to hire private detectives to keep a watch on illegal activities on trains and railway stations, states a report by Hindustan Times.

“Vidya, who played the role of a detective in her last movie, is our inspiration for this move", Sunil Kumar Sood, general manager, Central Railways, told Hindustan Times.
