Viral video: Women engage in verbal spat with couple while objecting to their ‘way of standing’ onboard Delhi Metro, face backlash for ‘moral policing’
Chandigarh, June 28
Delhi Metro has perpetually been making headlines for several on board incidents, including youths’ PDA, disruptions due to filming dance reels and scuffles. Owing to the quite ‘established trend’, DMRC had at times issued notices and warnings asking commuters to ‘behave responsibly’ but the admonitions seem not to be serving the purpose.
In a fresh incident, a video has been getting fervidly viral across social media platforms where two women could be seen engaging in a verbal spat with a couple.
In the now-viral video, the women could be seen objecting to the ‘couples’ PDA’— questioning ‘the way latter were standing’.
The man though tries to make clear that there was nothing objectionable that they were doing but the women insisted they should ‘leave the metro and go someplace else’.
A video in this context has been shared by a Twitter account, Ghar Ke Kalesh.

The video has triggered a plethora of reactions. Majority has been chiding the women for ‘moral policing’ while few are backing them for schooling the couple.

Seeing the frustration of these aunties, I am sure their own kids must be living separately.
Now they are venting their anger on strangers.

In public transportation, everyone must adhere to certain societal norms. Can’t do PDA casually anywhere and everywhere.
