The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation said on Saturday it is yet to be approached by a complainant in a recent incident when an African woman attempted to take off her clothes during an argument with a man in a train.
A video of the incident went viral in the last couple of days on social media, but it could not be verified by HT or DMRC officials.
“DMRC has not received any complaint on this issue, which seems to have been sorted out among the passengers. Minor scuffles inside the metro during peak hours or even otherwise should not be blown out of proportion as the metro is crowded and even a gentle push or pull can trigger the fuse of a few commuters,” a metro official said.
In the video, two African women are seen arguing with a group of commuters following what appears to be a dispute over seats.
One of the women starts taking off her clothes saying, “you want to fight, let’s fight”.
While the men are taken by surprise and step back, another man intervenes to calm her down and defuse the situation. The man is heard saying, “Please calm down, nobody is trying to fight anybody”.
