In the clip, a group of women can be seen chatting among themselves when a man interrupts and asks them to lower their voices, saying, “Awaaz kam karo thoda.” The women reportedly stop talking, but they claim the man’s tone soon turns rude regardless. One of the women is then heard telling him that he could have been more polite.During the exchange, the voice of another woman can also be heard echoing

the same complaint about the group speaking loudly. This soon leads to a confrontation between the women and the man, along with the other woman involved.The caption accompanying the video provides further context. It reads, “We were five girls returning from our trip from Siliguri to Assam. Around 8 PM, we were simply talking—well within the permitted train hours before 10 PM. Without any warning, a man and a woman began abusing us verbally. Even when we responded politely, the behaviour escalated into threats. After that, the man continued checking up on us repeatedly, making us uncomfortable. Sharing this for awareness and accountability.”

Since being posted, the video has gone viral and drawn mixed reactions online. While many users felt that the man and woman could have addressed the situation more politely, others argued that speaking loudly in a public space like a train compartment was inappropriate.One user commented, “It’s a public space. You should keep the volume low. To be honest, I also get irritated in these situations. There is no harm in lowering the volume and ensuring your comfort doesn’t create discomfort for others.” Another user wrote, “They hate to see women being happy, that’s it.”
