Social Media Reacts: "Big Boss Lite"
As soon as the video hit the internet, it garnered thousands of views and comments. Many users used humor to mask their frustration with the recurring instances of misbehavior on the metro.
- "Who needs a Netflix subscription when you have a Delhi Metro card?" joked one user.
- Others tagged the DMRC (Delhi Metro Rail Corporation), calling for stricter enforcement of safety protocols and more "Metro Marshals" to handle such outbursts.
- The phrase "Reality Show" began trending, with many comparing the raw aggression to contestants on the popular show Bigg Boss.
DMRC’s Stance on Commuter Misconduct
The DMRC has repeatedly issued guidelines urging passengers to maintain decorum and refrain from creating a nuisance. Under the Delhi Metro (Operation and Maintenance) Act, such behavior can lead to:
- Fines and Penalties: Commuters found fighting or causing a public disturbance can be fined.
- Eviction: Security personnel have the authority to remove unruly passengers from the train.
- Legal Action: In cases of physical assault, the Delhi Metro Rail Police can file an FIR against the offenders.
The Trend of "Metro Content"
This incident is the latest in a string of viral moments—ranging from dance reels to heated arguments—that have plagued the Delhi Metro in 2025. Authorities have expressed concern that the pursuit of "viral content" or "social media fame" is encouraging erratic behavior, compromising the safety and comfort of thousands of daily commuters.
