The metro is a busy transport system where many people travel daily, ensuring safety with cameras and staff keeping a watchful eye. Despite the crowds, the metro stays secure with cameras and observant employees monitoring activities. However, contrary to this, a distressing incident has come to light in Bengaluru involving a on duty security staff member stationed at a metro station who engaged in inappropriate behaviour by touching his private parts and masturbating in full view of passengers, particularly a female traveller.
The woman, deeply disturbed by the unsettling encounter, took to social media to recount her traumatic experience and demand accountability from the Bengaluru Police. The distressing episode unfolded at the Jalahalli Metro station platform, prompting widespread outrage and condemnation on various social media platforms.
In her complaint, the woman detailed the unsettling encounter, stating, "Today, I faced a situation where a security guard persistently stared at me while making suggestive gestures, including touching his private parts from across the platform. This disturbing incident occurred around 2:30 in the afternoon at Jalahalli metro station."
Feeling increasingly uncomfortable and unsettled by the unwarranted attention, the woman attempted to confront the individual, but he continued his inappropriate behavior. In response, she resorted to recording a video as evidence of the distressing encounter.
Subsequently, the woman shared the video with the Bengaluru metro authorities (#BMRCL), urging them to take stringent action against the individual. Despite her efforts, she alleged that the metro authorities failed to address her concerns. However, after learning about the incident, the Bengaluru Police contacted the woman and initiated an investigation.
Confirming the incident, Yashwant Chavan, spokesperson for the NammaMetro, stated, "The individual in question has a squint-eyed condition. The relevant authorities have been informed, and appropriate measures will be taken in response."
Social media has widely circulated the troubling video, captured at Bengaluru's Jalahalli Metro Station, depicting a security guard engaging in inappropriate behavior. Viewers have sparked shock and dismay at the distressing act, which targeted a female passenger seated across the metro tracks.
