The video shared by additi Negi on Instagram raised serious concerns about the security of women in public transport. The clip shows several passengers of men sitting carelessly in the female Delhi metro coach late at night, around 23 hours.
The additi, who started the last metro and believed that the female coach would offer a safer space, said she was shocked and upset to be full of most men. He believes he is not the only one who had to feel uncomfortable because of the presence of these men.
“Frankly, it seemed really worrying to me. At that hour, I just wanted me to feel a little safer … But the moment was completely shaking a sense of security,” wrote additi in the headline of a viral video that won 2.3 million views.

She was thinking about the purpose of a reserved coach without giving it.
“I know everyone has their reasons: but as a woman I was quietly interested … What is the point of a reserved coach if he can’t offer what he promises, especially late at night?” She wrote.
A debate about social media
The video comments section began the war of words between men and women.
“Release the boys, feminist HAI attention Maang Rhi Hai (she is a feminist and asks for attention),” wrote one man.
“Book your private stream if you have so many problems,” another wrote.
Another man noted: “Why should there be separate coaches for women. Everyone is strong independent. Right?”
“So, Lady Plz, tell me why you record all the Guyz video without his permission,” he came from another.

Others wrote, “We men, we pay more tax, use the device…”
“Such a wannabe immature card of the victim. It is expected that men will offer seats to women, seniors, pregnant and disabled – yet many women will not be for a fragile senior. He came from another.
Another man noted: “That’s why it turned out. Women want equality only when they benefit them. Otherwise, they want reserved coaches, reserved chairs in ordinary coaches, free bus tickets and metro, free and what.”

Many women shared their side of the story.
One of them wrote: “Men must understand that a female coach is created for a woman to feel safe! We do not know Bhai whose intentions are right and bad, our families are literally waiting for us to reach home and require our work to work in late hours.”
“It happened one day when I was in a women’s coach, I just asked them to leave, and when they pretended they didn’t hear, I asked,” AAP Ladies Hain Kya? Kyunki Ye To its Coach Hai ???? “They left immediately,” another user shared.
“At night, there should be a guide in the coach,” another user wrote.
