A video taken at a metro station in Bengaluru, India's technology city, has sparked controversy on social media. The video shows a couple displaying inappropriate physical intimacy on the metro. The exhibition of such behavior, especially in public spaces, has drawn the ire of many people.
The incident that occurred at a metro station in Bengaluru, India's technology city, sparked a significant debate on social media. A couple's inappropriate physical closeness on the metro drew the attention of many.
A video taken at the Madavara metro station shows a young couple. In the video, despite the presence of many passengers, including elderly people, the man behaves inappropriately by putting his hand inside his girlfriend's t-shirt.
The account named "Karnataka Portfolio" shared this video on the X platform (formerly known as Twitter) on Thursday night. The post stated, "Is Bengaluru moving towards Delhi Metro culture? This disturbing behavior at Namma Metro station raises questions about the city's etiquette."
The post also included the following opinions: "It is very sad and concerning to see such behavior exhibited by some individuals in public spaces. Such behavior is absolutely unacceptable, especially in a place like a metro station that everyone uses. Public spaces are for everyone, including children, women, families, and the elderly. Using these areas for private displays of affection is both disrespectful and shameful."
Social media users reacted differently to this incident. Some users argued that the boundary between displays of affection and inappropriate behavior in public spaces should be maintained. Others criticized the sharing of the video without blurring the couple's faces.
One user commented, "These individuals should be warned and informed to limit their inappropriate behavior in public spaces to their private lives. However, their identities should not be clearly shown on social media."
Another user stated, "Simply filming the video and sharing it online does nothing but expose people and sensationalize the incident."
Similar incidents in the Delhi metro have frequently made headlines before. Now, the occurrence of such incidents in Bengaluru has reignited discussions about societal values and the use of public spaces.
