Its Kolkata metro rail and you can expect some moral policing. After the incident of passengers misbehaving with a young couple, here is yet another example of harassment on the pretext of morality. A 24 year old girl was chided by the fellow passengers when she boarded Krishnanagar local train along with her boyfriend. Arguments began to take place regarding a seat which is common in crowdy trains. However, things have gone far when the co-passengers used her gender to tease her. The couple was advised to ‘Go home and sit on each other's lap'. Another chided her - `Don't come in a train dressed like this (in jeans and t-shirt). The couple posted about the incident on Facebook and have also filed a complaint with the Government Railway Police. Well! there wasn’t a formal reaction from the railways.
