Videos showing a man misbehaving on the Delhi Metro have gone viral on social media, sparking widespread debate over safety and passenger behavior on one of India’s busiest public transport systems.
The clips feature the same individual in two separate incidents inside a Metro coach. In the first video, the man appears to be intoxicated and is heard shouting abuses at security staff while stunned passengers look on. The second video captures Metro personnel attempting to remove him from the coach at Karol Bagh Metro Station, a major stop in the city.
The incidents have triggered strong public reactions online, with many users voicing concerns over safety in the Delhi Metro. Several commuters have raised questions about unruly behavior on public transport and the need for stricter enforcement of rules.
The Delhi Metro, which carries millions of passengers daily, is considered the backbone of transportation in the capital. Maintaining discipline and safety in such a crowded system is seen as essential to ensure a smooth experience for everyone.
Responding to the videos, a senior officer from the Delhi Police Metro Unit confirmed that the matter is under review. He noted, however, that no official complaint has been filed so far. “The videos are being verified, but no complaint has been received regarding the incident,” the officer said. He added that police will act if a complaint is lodged or if their inquiry finds serious misconduct.
The Delhi Metro has strict rules designed to safeguard passengers, and authorities regularly urge commuters to follow them. Passengers are reminded to remain calm, report misbehavior to staff immediately, and help maintain cleanliness and safety in the system.
The viral videos serve as a reminder of the importance of proper conduct in public spaces. While authorities are investigating, commuters are being encouraged to play their part in creating a safe and respectful travel environment. Police and Metro staff have reiterated their commitment to ensuring safety across all routes, emphasizing that incidents of misbehavior will be addressed promptly if reported.
