Woman Confronts Man on Delhi Metro Over Seat Refusal, Urging Him to ‘Be the Bigger Person’

Viral Video: A video of a group of women arguing with a man who refused to give up his unreserved seat to her on a Delhi Metro coach has gone viral on social media. The man refused to budge when asked to leave the seat.

The incident, which reportedly took place on the Blue Line near Janakpuri West, was documented by one of the women involved in the argument with the man and later shared on social media.

The clip, originally shared by a user on Instagram, shows the man responding sarcastically to bystanders who urged him to "be the bigger person." Meanwhile, a woman standing in front of him, seemingly at the centre of the disagreement, appears to mock him in return.

The footage, captured by one of the women, shows the man responding sarcastically to bystanders urging him to "be the bigger person." The woman at the centre of the dispute appears to mock him in return, further escalating the tension. Despite repeated requests, the commuter remained firm in his decision to keep his seat. However, moments later, he finally stood up—not because he gave in, but because he was getting off at the next stop.

"You’ve caused a commotion in the entire coach," the woman filming told him. "Try being quiet for once. Be the bigger person and show some manners." Unfazed, the man repeated her words in a questioning tone before exiting the train.

The clip left social media users divided. While a section of the internet defended the man, arguing that the seat wasn't in a reserved section, others accused him of being unnecessarily combative. "A man had to deal with this. It's not even the reserve seat," a user said on X. "When he is seated in an unreserved seat, it's totally up to him to give his seat to others. Giving a seat merely because the person is a woman doesn't justify anything. Giving seats to disabled or senior citizens is still justified," a user said.
