Women make men do sit ups..
Nothing to do with exercise, but meting out justice..
The question is - WHAT were men doing in the female only carriage in the first place.. Is it because of lack of space or just for harrassment ....
Men caught riding in a women-only carriage on the Delhi Metro were fined - and then slapped by angry woman who forced them to do sit-ups.
A police team caught a number of men in the carriage in a surprise raid at the city's Guru Dronacharya station, reports the Times of India.
Officers fined them the equivalent of £3.50 each - and then women, furious at men repeatedly invading their carriage - took their own vengeance.
Gurgaon police commissioner S S Deswal said complaints of men getting into the reserved coach and harassing women were becoming frequent.
"We have been getting a lot of complaints from women, including the lady wardens, about eve-teasing and harassment," he said.
"As suspected, we found many male passengers in the women's coach. The moment the women saw us, they got the courage to teach the men a lesson.
"We will continue this drive and ask women NGOs to also take part. We want our young girls and women to feel confident and safe while travelling in the Metro.''
Police say that around the same time, 40-odd menforcibly entered the women's coach of another train and refused to get off, even after women commuters protested.
The train was held up at Hauz Khas station for more than half an hour and police had to be called in. Two of the group were arrested and charged.

Thanks Happy,... Good Day to u too!
OK.. I'm a bit lost ..
What exactly is Eve Teasing ?? Are there apples or sps involved ?
I had actiually thought it to be misprint of "Eye Teasing" :O(
polkadots...very well said...liked it....:) Wish all women can understand those niceties...
I am a woman and I belive in ,no opression and recognising the feminne specialities of my sex, and so yes the girl child should be educated at par as her male counterpart but at no point of my life will I claim, I am eual to men!That would require me to travel standing in a crowded bus,and play all kinds of games,"just like men" to secure a seat in all walks of life..NO WAY!Nature made me different ,and I must learn to live well along with it's differences
Polkadots equality where it suits them.. We have selective feminists..
I've seen "Feminists"in India shouting slogans for equality of the sexes and equal rights for the girl child ......vrey relevant indeed.Then the self same "Feminists"will look for "Ladies Only" reservation in every thing form buses to public toilets to even the Parliament.Now that's a form of equlity I don't understand!
lol FS indeed...
mj.. but you never know who is inside the abaya...lol
UK.. there will a ladies only train...not just few compartments..:)
yes FS and maybe they'll put the best lady guards there.. :P
If Qatar Metro starts, no body can dare to ride in the ladies compartment. Or they may nominate Friday again for couples (Singles are not allowed to ride).
FS will there be a ladies only compartment in the Qatar Metro?

Oh yeah, you've told me this before WK, thank you :-)
Best way to get fit for us men. Ride in Women compartment of Delhi Metro, get chased and do sit-ups.. Wow free exercise and a ride at the same time..
Snessy I am Adam and you are madam.. Errr sorry eve so if I tease you, it's eve teasing :-P
What's eve teasing?
By the way college girls teasing guys is also a common sight in Delhi public transport..
Don't have to blame everything on men..
Talkabout a military style chastening..Respect!
Do i detect a little bit of incitement against us poor men ?
i thought she is left handed.
they're lucky it's just sit-ups.. :P
well done to those ladies!!!
agreed Tink - ladies have to stand up for themselves anywhere...
and Delhi metro system is great rode it several times.
not men but............. Lol!
This happens so often in the Bombay local trains. Sometimes, the regular male commuter hops into the ladies only compartment as a last minute attempt to jump into the moving train. They get off at the next station and go to the general compartment, or they are pushed out by the women.
Lol Uk, no when I was there, the metro didn't go till Gurgaon and there was no female compartment.. we were equals :(
I am guilty of never following any traffic rules in Gurgaon as we weren't worried about any traffic police there :(
WK do you want to make a confession? Did you ever do it?
The sight of police in gurgaon is surprising on its own, lol..
Well it was couple of years back, wonder if they have improved now..
It can be one reason disguised in another....sometimes it may be the necessity. Not a big deal though...its everyday story ... this one got reported as it was a surprise raid... who cares anyway...
See we all women got motherly nature. if baby boys will do something wrong, we will not let it go, will teach them a good lesson.
Perhaps the answer is to put female police into each carriage..
never bothered
General carriages become too crowded while women only is relatively empty so there are some smartarses who try to beat the rush by travelling via women carriages.
might be those men entered to sell Peanuts ? :(
It's interesting to know that those brave women take the law in their own hands when unfortunately,the authorities should be dealing in this situation.
