A woman allegedly slapped, scratched, and punched a 23-year-old accountant at Bengaluru’s Rajarajeshwarinagar Metro station on Tuesday morning over a queue dispute. Times of India reports that Nimisha DR asked the woman, believed to be in her mid-30s, to step aside after she argued with staff for over five minutes. The accused then assaulted her, claiming to be the "daughter of the commissioner" and hurling insults. The attack lasted nearly ten minutes before Metro staff and commuters separated them. Nimisha recorded part of the incident and later filed a police complaint after treatment at a private hospital. Police are tracing the woman based on the video.
