Video of man begging on Bengaluru Metro goes viral
Bengaluru, Dec 14: A video showing a man begging inside the Bengaluru Metro train widely shared on social media and authorities initiated an investigation into it.
The video shows a differently abled man wearing skull cap went on begging from one passenger to another inside the train. One of the passengers should have taken a video and shared it on the social media, which has now gone viral.
According to BMRCL sources, this is believed to have happened on Saturday though the investigation is still underway to ascertain the exact date and time.
