The phenomenon known as ‘Kalesh’ seems to be a common occurrence on the Delhi metro, where daily commutes often transform into scenes reminiscent of a soap opera.
From heated debates between aunties disapproving of public displays of affection to the perennial battle for seats, the Delhi Metro serves as a stage for an ongoing series of confrontations. One recent viral video captures a clash between a man and an elderly passenger, showcasing the intensity of these encounters.
Shared by @gharkekalesh on ‘X’, the video depicts an elderly man firmly holding his seat while engaging in a verbal exchange with another passenger who appears to have encroached upon his space.
Despite the elderly man’s attempts to calm the situation, the other passenger persists in his verbal onslaught, pushing the elderly man to his limits. Tensions escalate rapidly, with the elderly man even resorting to gestures indicating potential physical retaliation if the situation doesn’t de-escalate.
Ultimately, the elderly man rises to the challenge, confronting the other passenger who dares him to take action. This incident, emblematic of what locals refer to as ‘Dilli Kalesh,’ has elicited reactions from the public, who are growing weary of witnessing such scenes on the metro.

As videos depicting altercations on the Delhi metro continue to emerge, another recent viral video captures a heated argument between a man and a woman inside the metro. Filmed by a bystander, the video shows the woman exchanging heated words with a man seated in front of her, culminating in a fiery altercation that captures the attention of fellow passengers.
With these instances of metro mayhem becoming increasingly prevalent, one can’t help but wonder if the Delhi metro is morphing into a new iteration of Kalesh Zone.
