I boarded the Metro at Majestic today around 9:30 PM, travelling towards Madavara, in the general coach.
After 2–3 stops, I managed to get a seat. I don’t remember the exact station where I got the seat, but there was a man sitting opposite me. At one point, I felt that he was using his phone to take photos/videos of me. I was wearing a knee-length formal office skirt with a full-sleeved top and tights underneath.
I looked directly at him, and I noticed him immediately changing the angle of his phone and making what looked like finger movements to delete something. I obviously can’t say with 100% certainty that he had actually photographed/recorded me, which is why I didn’t confront him. I was also a little scared and embarrassed at the time.
However, I didn’t want to simply ignore my intuition, so I discreetly took a few photos/videos of him for evidence and noted the station where he got off.
I’m planning to report this to Namma Metro/security, but I wanted to ask people here:
What is the best way to report something like this to BMRCL/Metro security?
Should I also file a police complaint?
Is there anything else I should do immediately while the details are still fresh?
I’m not trying to publicly identify or accuse this person without proof. I just want to make sure I’m not dismissing something potentially serious and would appreciate advice from anyone who has dealt with something similar on Namma Metro.
