A shocking incident took place in India’s metro city Kolkata. Public mistakenly took the couple for making out in public metro and beat them right there in public metro station. This has taken place in Dum Dum metro station.

The couple was pushed off the train and then thrashed by a mob, allegedly because they were “standing too close”. In the images recorded on a mobile phone, the woman is seen trying to shield the man with her body as a group of men surrounds them with hands and fist raised. This man is getting kicks and punches from the public.

The woman too, according to the passenger who took the photographs on his mobile phone, was also not spared. It is assumed that over a group of about 50 students from colleges across Kolkata protested outside the Dum Dum Metro station against moral policing. “Leave the kids alone,” said one of the protestors.

A college student quoted Bob Dylan and said, “Your old road is rapidly aging. Please get out of the new one if you can’t lend your hand, the times they are a changing.” Sources reveal that the young man and woman were on the metro heading from Chandni Chowk to the terminal Noapara station somewhere around 10 PM at night. When asked about the same, some eyewitness said there was no PDA or public display of affection at all.

Another revealed that a senior citizen bumped into them while boarding the very crowded coach and an argument erupted and flared out of control. First came the heckling as others travelling in the coach also joined the fight and objected to the couple’s “PDA”.

While beating the couple, the crowd shouted, “Get a room” and “go to a club”.  Witnesses say both were beaten until some more passengers from another coach cut in and dragged them to safety.
