Once again, the Delhi Metro has captured headlines due to a fiery row in one of its women’s compartments. The video is of a tussle between passengers that rapidly degenerated into a riot, attracting an array of mixed reactions on the internet.
In the video, one woman is seen shouting at another, saying, “Meri god me baith jaa” (Sit on my lap). The other woman takes the comment literally and sits on her lap, which then escalates into a heated verbal clash that ends up in a physical fight. The video captures the two women fighting while the other passengers remain silent in awe.

Social media users were quick to weigh in on the incident. One of them said that “I think her anger was justified. Many ladies try to squeeze in between strangers, sometimes without even asking. Not everyone is comfortable with this.”
Another added that “Everyone is so frustrated that they can’t tolerate a little high and low and immediately becomes offensive.”
A third opinioned, “I think sometimes it’s a bit of entitlement. Everyone is tired after work, and people who get seats often sit for the entire journey without considering others. That said, personal space should still be respected, and physical fights in public spaces are unacceptable.”
The Delhi Metro has gained notoriety for its share of quirky and chaotic incidents, from impromptu performances to public disputes. Earlier, another viral video from a metro station showed a bystander trying to intervene in a fight but ending up getting slapped instead.
