‘Ye Bethne Ka Tarika Hain?’ Delhi Metro Passenger Turns Violent Over Another Man Sitting ‘Cross-Legged’

Terms like ‘peace and harmony’ can hardly ever be used in a sentence that also has ‘Delhi metro’ in it! No, we are not exaggerating, we are simply stating an observation, based on the endless number of

social media videos that make it to the internet daily- where Delhi metro passengers can be seen doing anything and everything that is mostly far from ‘sitting calmly’. Reminding the internet of the same, a video was recently shared online, which showed a man blasting at another Delhi metro passenger- seemingly over his ‘sitting position’. Yes, you read that correctly. By the looks of it, the man turned upset, then eventually became violent, as he kept on shouting at the other passenger for sitting ‘cross-legged’. The other passenger, on the other hand, simply continued to maintain his stance on the matter, where he repeatedly asked what the issue was with the ‘position’.The video went viral in an instant, which did not surprise many, but did leave most people fuming. Most stated that the man was ‘frustrated’ and wanted to take his anger out, while the rest highlighted that sitting cross-legged in a crowded metro is often frowned upon.As the argument continued, other passengers around the duo did try to intervene, but that hardly helped. Times Now could not confirm the details and the authenticity of the post.

Check out the viral post:

“In the metro, a man was sitting with one leg crossed over the other— this annoyed the second man, who got angry over it, started arguing, and was ready to resort to fighting and beating,” the post read. The posts were shared on X (formerly Twitter), by the handle ‘318christerry’. The post was shared 2 days ago and pulled more than 161K views from netizens.

The man was just sitting, not disturbing anyone,” added another.ALSO READ: Facebook Down?
