Bengaluru Metro Viral Video: A video of a heated argument between two women at a Namma Metro station in Bengaluru has gone viral, drawing attention to the ongoing language debate in the city. The confrontation reportedly began when one passenger insisted on speaking Kannada while the other responded in Hindi, leading to a noisy exchange near the ticket counter.

The footage opens with the two women confronting each other. The woman in a black burqa is heard saying, “Hindi mathadri (Speak Hindi),” while pointing at the other passenger. She further makes a derogatory remark, asking, “Aurat hai (tu) Siddaramaiah ki? (Are you Siddaramaiah’s woman), Chal nikal (Get lost).”

In response, the other woman, dressed in a saree, can be heard repeatedly saying, “Kannada… Kannada,” as the altercation grows louder. The situation escalated as neither agreed to switch languages, and the argument quickly caught the attention of bystanders.

The clip has been widely circulated on social media, with many users reacting strongly. A Reddit user who shared the video wrote, “Everyday there is a fight for Kannada & not sure why so much intolerance nowadays!” Another user on X commented, “The identities are so messed up here that it doesn’t qualify for outrage and a hullabaloo by language warriors. Time & energy saved.”

In separate news, Bengaluru police have filed a case after reports emerged that a 16-year-old girl was allegedly married off at a mosque in Anepalya on September 26. Acting on a government official’s complaint, Ashok Nagar police registered the case under the Child Marriage Restraint Act on September 29. Officials confirmed the matter was referred to the Child Welfare Committee before legal action. A separate petition by advocate Hussain Owais to senior police officers named individuals, including a Waqf Board member, as participants. The complaint stated the marriage violated child protection laws and raised concerns that the minor might be pregnant.
