Netizens have shared mixed reactions to the video. One user commented, "It's a daily thing in the Delhi Metro," highlighting how common such incidents have become. Another remarked, "If the boy had hit the girl, he would have been arrested by now," pointing out the perceived gender bias in handling such situations. The Delhi Metro often makes headlines for the all wrong reasons.

Previous incidents in metro

The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has strict rules against improper conduct, such as sitting on the floor. Despite this, incidents of passengers ignoring these rules continue to occur. A recent video brought another such instance into the spotlight. In the video, a man is seen lying down on the floor of the metro coach.
