The Delhi Metro, renowned as one of the most efficient public transport systems in the capital, often becomes the stage for bizarre and unruly passenger behaviour. From viral dance reels to public spats, it continues to make headlines. In a recent incident, a heated fight between two women in the ladies’ compartment left co-passengers shocked. The altercation, captured on video, has since gone viral on social media.
The Incident: Verbal Spat Turns Physical
The video shows two women embroiled in a verbal clash, with one seated and the other standing nearby. The seated woman, visibly irked, sarcastically tells the other, “Meri god mein baith jaa (sit on my lap).” Tensions escalate quickly as she gets up, pushing the standing woman and pulling her hair. The physical altercation left co-passengers stunned, though some attempted to mediate and de-escalate the situation.
Social Media Reacts
The clip, shared with the caption, “Ab yeh kab hua… is it in the ladies compartment (Now, when did this happen… is this the ladies’ compartment)?” sparked widespread reactions online.
One user humorously remarked, “Yu hua English to desi ka safar (This is how the journey of English to desi happened).”
Another sided with the aggressive woman, noting, “Her anger seems justified. Many ladies often invade personal space without asking. Not everyone is comfortable with this.”
On a more serious note, a comment read, “This is concerning. Physical assault should never be the answer.”
