Bengaluru, March 20 Eleven female passengers have been booked for allegedly causing a disturbance and disturbing other commuters inside the metro train by singing loudly, police said on Friday.
The incident occurred on the night of March 15 when they were travelling from the Bengaluru International Exhibition Centres to the 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 the Peenya Industrial Area station, some passengers got off 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 caused a disturbance 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 a 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.
