How’s this awkward? Stop overreacting..
and you could look the other side instead of filming them— Tee 🇮🇳 (@tee2799) May 12, 2023
Taking videos of strangers like without their consent should be criminal offence.

Notably, many videos of couples had been shared across social media platforms for quite some time now. Some of those created an immense stir with people asking authorities to act. Even DMRC at times took cognisance and issued statements asking commuters to behave responsibly. In one of the latest incidents, the rail corporation asked travellers to follow all social etiquette and protocols which are acceptable in the society.
