Man Caught Urinating Inside Delhi Metro Station, Flees After Being Filmed
A shocking video has gone viral on social media, showing a man urinating inside a Delhi Metro station. The incident occurred at a station on the Pink Line of the Delhi Metro network. The man fled the scene after being filmed, leaving behind a wave of public anger.
DMRC Issues Strong Statement Urging Passenger Cooperation
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation responded quickly to the viral footage. On Monday, DMRC issued an appeal to all passengers. They requested help in keeping metro premises clean and hygienic.
The statement emphasized immediate reporting of such activities to DMRC authorities. "DMRC requests all its passengers to help in keeping the premises clean and hygienic. If passengers notice any such activity by a fellow passenger, they should immediately bring the same to the notice of DMRC authorities," the corporation said.
Social Media Erupts with Criticism and Broader Concerns
Online platforms buzzed with outrage after the video surfaced. Users condemned the man's behavior in strong terms. Many questioned the lack of civic sense in public spaces.
One user shared a personal experience, saying, "This has happened right in front of me once. It was around 10 at night, and a man started urinating on the platform in front of me. Since then, unless I have no other option, I don't travel by metro."
Others called for strict punishment. "Such people should be put in jail, fined and shamed on social media," commented another user.
Some pointed to infrastructure issues. A third user reacted, "Why not provide more urinals to help and facilitate the maximum public and avoid this type of nuisance further?"
The discussion expanded to broader civic awareness problems. A fourth user added, "Why is anyone even surprised? This is just another Indian male. It shows their upbringing and schooling. Our schools teach how to be an engineer or doctor but there is no curriculum on public behaviour and civic sense."
DMRC Addresses Concerns on Social Media Platform X
DMRC also responded directly to users on the platform X. They stated, "Hi, any inconvenience is regretted. Suitable action is taken in case any such activity is noticed." This response aimed to address the growing concerns among commuters.
Not an Isolated Incident in Delhi Metro
This recent event is not the first of its kind. In September last year, another video surfaced showing an elderly man urinating inside a metro coach. That incident occurred at the junction between two compartments.
It prompted similar public outrage and calls for stricter enforcement. These repeated incidents highlight ongoing challenges in maintaining public hygiene and discipline within the metro system.
The viral video continues to spark debates about civic responsibility and infrastructure adequacy. Passengers and authorities alike are grappling with how to prevent such acts in the future.
