Man Flees Metro Station After Realising He’s Being Filmed
In a shocking incident, a man was caught urinating on a Delhi Metro platform. The video shows a middle-aged man relieving himself near a glass railing in public view. Upon realising that another commuter was filming him, he fled the scene. The clip has sparked outrage on social media, with many users criticising the man for lacking basic civic sense, while others called for strict action against such behaviour in public places.
The video was shared on X by an account named Ghar Ke Kalesh. While the caption did not mention the date or time of the recording, the incident was believed to have occurred on the Delhi Metro’s Magenta Line based on visuals in the clip. News18 could not independently verify the authenticity or timing of the video.
How Did Social Media React?
The video drew sharp reactions from users on X, with many expressing anger over the incident. One user called for the man to be identified and arrested to set an example, while another demanded that he be fined and permanently barred from using the Metro.
Several users demanded strict action against the individual, claiming that such behaviour was “ruining” the city’s public spaces. One commenter said that some people treat the Delhi Metro like their home, engaging in inappropriate acts, and urged the government to take action to preserve the dignity of the national capital.
However, some users took a different view and attempted to defend the man, suggesting that he may have had a medical condition. One user claimed that people with diabetes can experience sudden urges to urinate and argued that metro platforms should have urinals. Another echoed the sentiment, saying it was possibly a health issue and preferable to a medical emergency.
Others rejected the defence, pointing out that all metro stations are equipped with washrooms and public toilets. One user questioned why people engage in such behaviour despite available facilities. Another user shared a personal experience, recalling a similar incident late at night, and said it had made them hesitant to travel by the Metro unless absolutely necessary.
Some users expressed frustration over such incidents, questioning how people could demand world-class public transport standards while engaging in irresponsible behaviour. Another account alleged that such acts were not uncommon on the Delhi Metro, claiming to have witnessed similar incidents inside coaches, particularly near gangway sections, and questioned the effectiveness of CCTV surveillance and staff vigilance. Meanwhile, one user made a sarcastic remark, comparing the situation to experiences in other global metro systems.
Man Criticised for Letting Son Urinate on Metro Track
In August, a father faced criticism for allowing his son to urinate on the railway tracks at Inderlok Metro Station. When approached by a bystander, believed to be a Delhi Metro staff member, the man mumbled a response before walking away with his child. The video sparked widespread backlash on social media.
