In the same video, a man was seen sitting a couple of seats away, completely ignoring the man’s actions.  “Why people around don’t do anything about it!!” said a user on Twitter.

“How did people not say anything? Did he have a bomb or something? If it was me and my family, trust me my fam would have beaten that guy so bad and probably broken his pvt part and we’d expect some award from govt,” said another user. A third person added, “There is no shame left.”

However, this is not the first time that such a video has gone viral. A few days ago, a video of a woman wearing a miniskirt and travelling in the Delhi Metro went viral. The video clip created a protest online and many questioned her bold clothing sense, while others netizens said that she is inspired by fashion influencer Uorfi Javed.

Later, she broke the silence on the matter and said she is not dressing like this for publicity and that she has been travelling in this manner for many months now. Furthermore, she said she does not care what others think of her.

After that video went viral, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) issued a statement and urged the regular commuters to follow “social etiquette and protocols which are acceptable in the society”.

The DMRC in a tweet said, “Commuters should not indulge in any activity or wear any attire which could offend the sensibilities of other fellow passengers.”
