In a recent event that has captured the attention of social media, a video showcasing a woman steadfastly occupying a reserved seat on a train—despite not having a ticket—has gone viral.
The woman, when approached, steadfastly refused to relinquish her seat, even asserting her supposed entitlement as a railway employee. This confrontation, recorded by an onlooker, has now spread like wildfire across the internet.
Posted by social media user Shonee Kapoor, the video was shared with the provocative caption: “The lady is occupying a reserved seat without a ticket. Refused to get up, arguing with everybody around. Best usage of #women-card.” This post has since amassed over 1 million views, sparking a robust discussion among netizens.
Comments under the video range from critical to supportive, with one user stating, “Women feel that they are entitled to get everything free. The government should make everything free for everyone irrespective of gender, age, religion, status, etc.”
Another commenter speculated, “I feel the lady is from Congress-ruled Karnataka—they have free women ticket/seat in buses. Maybe she forgot this is a train.”
RailwaySewa, responding to the uproar, urged: “Please share the journey details (PNR/UTS No.) and Mobile No. with us preferably via DM. You may also raise your concern directly on http://railmadad.indianrailways.gov.in or dial 139 for speedy redressal.”
This incident not only highlights the issue of entitlement and public behavior but also sparks a broader discussion on social media’s role in public accountability.
