Video of women ringing apartment bells and locking doors in Mumbai goes viral, sparks outrage online

CCTV footage of two women ringing apartment bells and locking the doors in a building in Mumbai has gone viral. A resident of the society, Shresht Poddar shared the videos of the incident on X and narrated the incident that took place on the night of January 28.

In the videos, it is visible that the women were recording the act. Shresht Poddar in his post on X said that "2:30 am last night. 2 young, educated girls entered & recorded themselves trying to lock the doors & ring the bells of houses multiple times, in my building, which has mostly 55+ & senior residents, & a history of previous incidents. They knew CCTVs were present."

Shresht further said that their building is an old G+2 one. In the past, there have been multiple robbery attempts, electrical fires and even murders in the vicinity. The building folk have had to run out into the compound in the middle of the night, multiple times.

He said that loud disturbance at night disturbs and scares them. Shresht also said that in the CCTV footage, 2 girls were seen who were looking intoxicated. They spotted the CCTV yet they proceeded to go upstairs, they were checking name plates and were latching the door from outside.

As social media users came across this post, they reacted by saying that these girls should be arrested. While others reacted to this by saying that this is such a disgrace.

On January 29, Shresht shared an update on this and said that the girls were identified offline and reprimanded. There was never an intention to punish them in some of the ways suggested by a lot of people here. The residents have decided not to file a police complaint.
