After viral video prompts inspection, Delhi Metro says no snake found in ladies' coach
After a video showing passengers shouting after reportedly spotting a snake inside a coach went viral, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) Friday said a baby lizard was found during inspection. The video, which was widely shared Thursday evening on Instagram, led to claims that a snake had been seen in a Delhi Metro ladies' coach. The video shows women passengers shouting, and lifting their legs to keep them above the floor. The passengers could also be seen jumping onto the seats. When someone asks why everyone is scared, a passenger claims there is a cobra in the coach. Another passenger can be heard telling someone to knock on the driver's door and ask him to stop the metro. However, DMRC said while no snake was visible in the footage, it took swift action once an alert was received from passengers. The train was halted at Akshardham Metro station, evacuated, and sent to the depot for detailed checks. 'Although the snake is not visible in the video, it is being purportedly claimed that a snake was spotted in a ladies' coach. Immediate action was taken upon receiving the alert,' Anuj Dayal, Principal Executive Director (Corporate Communications), DMRC, said. 'Despite a meticulous check of the train footage and the coach at the depot by the concerned team, no snake was found. However, a baby lizard was spotted during the inspection,' Dayal said. He said DMRC prioritises passenger safety and that standard operating procedures were followed to ensure there was no threat. 'We urge passengers to remain vigilant and report any such concerns to our staff for prompt action,' he added.

Snake in Delhi Metro creates chaos as ladies' coach breaks into panic dance: Watch
In the wildest twist of Delhi Metro's daily drama, a video has gone viral showing sheer chaos erupt inside a ladies' coach, with women jumping, screaming, and bolting to one side. The alleged reason? A snake. Yes, you read that right. The viral footage shows passengers freaking out like they were on a Discovery Channel special instead of the Yellow Line. When metro turns into a jungle safari The actual reptile is nowhere to be seen in the clip, but that did not stop the rumour mill or the hysteria. Apparently, just the mention of a snake had everyone losing their collective calm. Reptile or rumour? Social media reacts Twitter and Instagram went full investigative journalist mode. One user compared the incident to a 'wildlife safari,' while another dubbed the Delhi Metro a 'circus on tracks.' Cue the memes, screams, and LOLs. A supposed eyewitness claimed the whole fiasco might have started with someone mistaking a lizard for a snake. Classic desi panic starter pack, right? Meanwhile, netizens played Sherlock Holmes trying to identify the station, with many guessing Sarojini Nagar, because of course, the drama capital of Delhi had to be involved. Not everyone's laughing though While some social media users had a field day cracking jokes, others pointed out that such scares in public transport are no laughing matter. One user noted the serious anxiety this could cause in a crowded space. And let's be honest, with rush hour already testing our limits, no one needs surprise snake sightings. Still no word from DMRC As of now, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has not dropped any official statement on the so-called slithering guest, although it does looks like a snake, and DMRC? It has ghosted harder than your last Hinge match.
