In the video, which is rapidly going viral on social media, two women are seen arguing on an escalator. The situation quickly escalates as both women are seen pulling each other’s hair. The altercation intensifies to the point where they fall, creating a tense atmosphere. While the exact time and location of the incident remain unclear, the video is being widely shared as an occurrence from the Delhi Metro.
The video has triggered mixed reactions among viewers. Some people consider it an example of growing disorder within the metro system, while several users believe the incident could be staged as part of a reel-making effort.
Further investigation revealed that one of the women seen in the video had previously created reels involving unusual acts on escalators, including staged slipping incidents and various stunts. This revelation has added to the speculation that the altercation may have been performed for social media attention.
This is not the first time such videos have emerged from the Delhi Metro. Incidents involving dancing, stunts, humorous acts, and inappropriate behavior in public spaces have repeatedly gone viral. Such activities not only inconvenience passengers but also raise concerns about safety and discipline within the metro premises.
In response to these recurring incidents, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has taken strict measures. Shooting reels or videos inside metro premises is prohibited. Activities such as dancing or performing stunts are also against the rules. Violators may face fines for breaking these regulations. These rules have been in effect since September 14, 2025, and are now being strictly enforced.
The incident raises a critical question about whether the pursuit of virality is causing people to forget the basic decorum of public spaces. While gaining popularity on social media is not inherently wrong, disregarding the convenience and safety of others cannot be justified.
Maintaining discipline and order in public spaces like the Delhi Metro is the responsibility of every citizen. Creating reels or seeking viral fame is acceptable only when it does not cause inconvenience or risk to others. Otherwise, what may seem like “fun” can quickly turn into “trouble.”
