A reddit user shared the traumatic experience of a woman friend who was allegedly groped by a man in an overcrowded Bengaluru metro. The user detailed the incident in a lengthy post and said that the friend took the metro, unlike daily when she takes bus to college. There was a lot of pushing. The user claimed that the lady responsible for managing passenger flow let an unusually large number of people into the train at once.
“After a while, my friend began to feel very uncomfortable. She soon realized that a man in a red shirt, standing right behind her, was touching and grabbing her from the back. She could literally feel his nails,” a user @proteincarbs wrote.
“My friend didn’t initially realize what was happening. The moment she turned around, the fucking monster literally sprinted away. She started screaming and crying for help, but nobody seemed to care,” the user added.
The user further sought direction and guidance from other users to identify and access the CCTV footage of the person.
“Can someone please guide me on how to do this? Are there CCTV cameras inside the metro or at the station? Where can I access the footage? Please help me,” the user wrote.

A user commented, “I work in this organization. If you file a compliant action will be taken because Metro is full under cctv surveillance and tweet the compaint by tagging @cpronammametro. Next anyone face this just contact station manager he will provide how action can be taken.”
“If OP contacts me I can't do anything other than the procedure laid down by BMRCL. For CCTV footage either from the Station or inside the metro OP has to file an FIR and come with the date and time and probable coach number. Footage can't be given to the public other than for investigation purposes,” another user commented.
