Bengaluru Metro Files Non-Cognisable Case Against 11 Over Loud Singing on Train

Metro rules prohibit floor-sitting and noisy behavior that inconveniences riders.

Overview

  • Police said the incident occurred on March 15 as the group traveled from the Bengaluru International Exhibition Centre toward Nadaprabhu Kempegowda station.
  • Commuters objected to the loud singing inside the coach, and an exchange at Peenya Industrial Area station briefly kept train doors from closing.
  • Metro security staff and home guards, supported by Hoysala patrol teams, identified and detained the passengers at different points.
  • Based on a BMRCL security officer’s complaint, Peenya police registered a non-cognisable report and later released the 11 women after they apologised.
  • Officials reiterated that violations can attract fines or legal action and flagged concerns about performative behavior for social media inside coaches.
