Bengaluru (PTI): A group of eleven female passengers was booked for allegedly creating nuisance and disturbing other commuters inside the metro train by singing aloud, police said on Friday.
The incident occurred on the night of March 15 when they were travelling from Bengaluru International Exhibition Centres to KGWA (Nadaprabhu Kempegowda Metro Station) metro line, they said.
The group allegedly started singing loudly inside the coach, leading to objections from other commuters.
Later, at Peenya Industrial Area station, some passengers alighted and continued arguing on the platform, briefly preventing the train doors from closing, a senior police officer said.
Following the incident, security personnel intervened and brought the situation under control, he said.
The same group allegedly created nuisance at several stations. Metro security staff and home guards identified and detained those involved at different points, with support from Hoysala patrol teams, police said.
Based on a complaint by BMRCL Security Officer, a non-cognisable report was filed against these 11 female passengers, the officer said.
A non-cognisable report is filed when the offence is considered minor in nature.
However, they were let off after they apologised for their actions, police said.
