Bengaluru man filmed himself eating in metro to mock rules, found cops waiting at platform

A man was fined Rs 500 for eating inside the Bengaluru Metro

A Bengaluru man who filmed and circulated a video which shows him eating inside the metro has now been caught and fined Rs 500 for breaking rules. According to a report in The New Indian Express, Sunil Kumar’s video, shared on social media last week, shows him enjoying a plate of gobi manchurian inside the Bengaluru Metro. He violated the rule which prohibits eating and drinking inside the trains or on platforms.

The report says that Kumar and his friends work at a prominent jewellery outlet in Jayanagar. The group boards the metro at Sampige Road Station every day to reach Jayanagar.

A few days ago, Kumar shared a video on social media which shows him chuckling as he digs into a plate of food. Two of his friends filmed the clip, in which one friend can be heard calling him an “uneducated fool” in a mocking tone.

“This is a very rare incident as commuters generally adhere to rules. The trio deboarded a Metro train at 9:30 AM at Jayanagar on Tuesday. Waiting security personnel took them to the police station nearby. They were detained for half a day,” the executive director of operations & Maintenance, Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL), told The New Indian Express. He was warned not to repeat the offence and released.
