Viral Video: A clip capturing a woman without a ticket refusing to leave a seat she had taken by force on a train has gained widespread attention. Despite requests from fellow passengers, she engaged in a heated argument rather than vacating the seat.
Viral Video: A woman traveling without a ticket on a train refused to vacate a seat that she forcefully occupied and argued with co-passengers instead as seen in a clip that has surfaced online.

¡°Meri seat nahi hai (It is not my seat),¡± she admitted without hesitation when questioned by the rightful occupant of the reserved seat she had occupied. The man requested her to vacate but to no avail. ¡°Aap TTE (Travelling Ticket Examiner) ko bulaiye. TTE aayega, tab baat karenge (Call the TTE. I will speak to him),¡± she retorted in a rather rude tone, dismissing every valid point raised against her behavior.

The concerned passenger, allegedly the individual recording the incident, asked her to vacate the seat and wait nearby. However, she adamantly refused, resorting to disrespectful behavior towards other passengers when urged to vacate the seat. Persisting in her refusal, she even asserted her purported affiliation with the Railways department and cited fatigue as a reason to remain seated. Many argued that she could have politely requested to sit instead of asserting unwarranted ownership over the seat.
Unmoved, she maintained her rudeness. ¡°Main sunnewaali nahi hoon. Main baithi hoon, yahin baithungi. Khade raho, bolte raho. Mujhe koi farq nahi padhta. Kardo complain (I am not going to listen. I will sit here. You can keep standing there, keep on talking. I don¡¯t care. Go ahead and complain).¡±
The short video posted by Shonee Kapoor has gone viral with over 1 million views so far. Railway Seva, the official account for support to passengers, asked for details for further investigation. Northern Railway also responded to the video.
In the comments section of the now-viral post, social media users censured the woman for her ¡°vile¡± behavior. ¡°I can bet this is not the first time she did that,¡± a user said. Another X user said, ¡°Reserved seat has become a joke nowadays.¡±
For the first time my younger sister is travelling alone by train.

In a similar incident in February, a young woman received immediate help from Indian Railways after her sister complained on X of co-passengers occupying her seat and refusing to vacate it. Railway Seva responded to the post soon after as authorities helped her out.
