Nothing that happens in the Delhi metro stays in the Delhi metro. It has been witnessing a series of incidents lately, characterized by disputes and conflicts among passengers. Consequently, creating a buzz on social media. In the series of events, a video capturing a woman engaging in a heated confrontation and yelling at a man inside the metro has recently gone viral on the internet. While some speculate that the individuals involved may have known each other, rather than being strangers, what stands out is the lack of intervention from other commuters to de-escalate the situation. Instead, onlookers chose to passively observe the unfolding altercation.
The video posted by @gharkekalesh shows a woman wearing a checked shirt instigating a conflict by striking the man standing beside her. She then confronts him face-to-face and slaps him. The motive behind the altercation remains unclear, as the woman’s actions seem to stem from personal disapproval.
