The Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation (BMRCL) recently took action against a social media influencer, who was causing disturbance on metro trains, by booking a case and penalizing him.
The individual, identified as Santosh Kumar, had the tendency to unexpectedly scream and startle fellow passengers while inside the train. Subsequently, he would capture the reactions of co-passengers and share them as Instagram reels under the username Yash_Gowda_0271.
With a follower count exceeding 1,62,000 on Instagram, the accused has produced videos showcasing colourful shirts and white-framed sunglasses. Officials filed a case against him under Section 59 (1) of the Metro Act for causing disturbance on BMRCL premises. Subsequently, he was fined ₹500 and was given a warning, and instructed to delete all posts related to Namma Metro from his Instagram account.
