Meanwhile, the viral clip is receiving mixed reactions from netizens. Though it could not be verified when and where the video was shot, several users on social media also demanded action against the couple and called for the need to maintain decorum and respect for public spaces.

Mind your own business. And don’t film without permission. Close your eyes if you don’t want to see people happy.

Is this a crime? Why film without consent. Why this moral policing. Mind your own business !

Don’t see anything wrong in it.
Othere then you recording it.— Rajput TK Singh (@TheTKSingh) May 7, 2024
What exactly is the problem if two youngsters show affection for each other? Maybe you grew up in a loveless home where you are only used to your dad beating your mom. That’s why you have a problem with affection. Stop filming and invading privacy. Sick.

This is completely consensual and it seems like noone has a problem with them. @OfficialBMRCL please take action against people who shoot videos of women in the metro without their consent.

I don’t see anything obscene here .. Let’s not make big issue. Person filming without consent should be held responsible for circulating wrong thoughts.

In video we can’t see the girl kissing..?… I think there should be action against the person filming it without permission and defaming the individual.!

PDA is right or wrong is debatable, but what u did is very wrong, filming someone without consent is shameful. A case should be filed against you too @blrcitytraffic

In the video, we couldn’t spot anything obscene as the kissing part claimed by the recorder is not clear in the video. In the video, the young couple can be spotted hugging each other. We strongly believe that the person who posted the video shouldn’t have shot the video without their consent.
