The video was shot by a fellow commuter. A few seats down in the same row, a man can be seen ignoring the perverted act, while the person shooting the video doesn't care to stop the accused from committing such a heinous act.
It's not the first time something like this has happened
This is not the first time that such a video of any indecent act or behavior in Delhi Metro has gone viral. Recently, a video of a woman wearing a bra and miniskirt traveling in Delhi Metro went viral.
The girl seen in the viral video is Rhythm Chanana, a resident of Fatehgarh Sahib city of Punjab. The girl comes from a traditional family, but doesn't get along with the family because of her open views.
Statement of Delhi Metro past events
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) later issued a statement urging commuters to follow "social etiquette and protocols accepted in the society".
The girl disagreed with DMRC and said that they have no videography policy inside trains. She added, "If they have a problem with my dress, they must have a problem with the people who shot it."
