Here’s why Manjulika lookalike was not penalised by the Noida Metro authority

The other day, a Manjulika lookalike created chaos inside the Noida Metro. A person, later identified as one Priya Gupta, was seen walking and dancing inside the metro premises. She taps a person on shoulder who later runs away in shock in a viral video. After the video made it to social media, netizens started questioning the role of the metro officials in the whole scenario. They posed doubts about the security of travellers in such a situation.
