Videos of altercations and unusual incidents in the Delhi Metro often surface on social media, prompting people to question whether the metro is a place for commuting or for quarrels. A recent video, now viral on social media, showcases a heated confrontation between a couple and a tall young man.
The Incident
The video begins with an argument between a young man and the tall individual, which quickly escalates into a physical altercation. The young man, who was accompanied by a woman, is seen assaulting the tall man, punching and pushing him twice. The woman attempts to intervene and defuse the situation. Despite her efforts, the tall man appears to retaliate, but she steps in to prevent further escalation.
Lack of Intervention
Throughout the incident, other passengers in the metro car remain passive, watching the altercation unfold but not stepping in to stop it.
Renewed Fight
Even after the initial scuffle, tensions flare up again, and another round of fighting ensues between the two men. Eventually, a few passengers intervene to separate them. Reports suggest the tall man might have been under the influence of alcohol.
Social Media Reaction
The video was shared on Twitter (now X) by the account @gharkekalesh and has garnered 226.9K views so far. Many viewers have expressed concern over the increasing number of disputes and fights occurring in the Delhi Metro, which they feel undermines its purpose as a mode of public transportation.
