Viral Video: A terrifying event on a packed Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) bus is captured in a troubling video that went viral on Twitter. The video was posted on Twitter by “Ghar Ka Kalesh,” and it immediately gained popularity. This infuriated many people and raised concerns about both bystander indifference and public safety.
Inappropriate Behavior Sparks Confrontation
In the crammed bus, a man is seen inappropriately touching a woman. The moment the woman approaches him, things get heated very fast. The male responds angrily, attacking the woman viciously, instead of yielding or offering an apology. Surprisingly, nobody steps in to put an end to the onslaught despite the large number of passengers there. There are several others on the bus who are only passively seeing the tragedy and the woman’s suffering.
Violence and Harassment in Public Places
This video brings to light the widespread problem of violence and harassment against women in public places, especially in crowded and frequently chaotic settings like public transit. It also highlights the alarming occurrence of bystander apathy, in which people who observe a crime choose not to intervene, allowing the abuser to carry on with impunity.
