So, if you were thinking that Delhi metro was the only public transport where you get to see all unwanted dramas and fights over petty issues, then think again because now we have in our list is Bengaluru’s Namma metro. Here, recently an altercation broke out on a crowded Namma Metro train during rush hour, leaving passengers stunned. The incident, which has since gone viral on social media, shows individuals exchanging insults and physical blows in a crowded metro car. Fortunately, quick intervention from fellow passengers helped diffuse the volatile situation before it spiraled further. However, what stood out amidst the chaos was the collective effort of other commuters to pacify the brawlers.
The exact reason for the clash remains unclear, but it’s rumored that the two passengers got into a heated argument over pushing and shoving in the packed compartment. The time and location of the incident also remain unknown. For the record, this wasn’t just a minor scuffle; the fight was intense, with both participants going at each other ferociously.
According to reports, the two passengers became embroiled in a heated dispute due to jostling and pushing in a packed compartment.
The video was shared on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), by the handle ‘ChristinMP_’. The post was captioned, “A fight broke out between two passengers inside an overcrowded Metro train in Bengaluru. BMRCL is reviewing the video & investigating further details.”

Meanwhile, investigations are underway by the metro authorities to determine the details regarding the reason and time of occurrence of the incident. To address this issue, they intend to boost security measures within trains to avert any potential altercations in the future. The authorities are taking proactive steps to ensure the safety and well-being of passengers.
“Travelling in public transport is risky in multiple ways,” said one user, Another remarked, “Bound to happen with unruly behaviour by many passengers who don’t follow queues, rush in without allowing passengers to exit,lean on doors,crowd around the doors,etc; despite announcements & also due to many mute security personnel turning a blind eye in platforms.”
“Thanks to co-passengers for helping to settle disputes. One more announcement should be added: Any fights inside the metro should be handed over to the police. Better sense will prevail,” commented a third user.
“While the fight is bad, I appreciate the co-passengers helping to calm them today. Something you don’t generally see in every fight,” another said.
“If it has been Delhi or somewhere passengers would have just stood and watched.. here the audience stopped the fight. That’s the difference between Bangalore and other places.”
