The incident has stirred widespread public reaction, with many condemning the actions of the young women. “This incident is quite unfortunate and disturbing,” one commenter said. “Such behavior, especially towards the elderly, is unacceptable. It highlights the growing lack of patience and respect in society.”

Others expressed frustration with societal double standards. One individual commented, “This woman can raise her hand on an elderly man in open public view, but as per Indian laws, Parliament, and Judiciary, she cannot raise her hand on a man behind closed doors according to the Domestic Violence Act.” This sentiment highlights the complexities and perceptions around legal protections in India.

“This alarming scene shows that we, as a society, need to stand against violence and support each other,” remarked another resident.
