Police clarify medical emergency
Following the viral attention, Delhi Police issued an official clarification in the comments section of the post.
According to authorities, the incident took place around 9:40 PM on May 15, 2026. The elderly passenger was reportedly travelling from Jamia Metro Station toward Faridabad and experienced a sudden medical emergency during an interchange at Kalkaji Metro Station.
Police stated that despite attempting to locate a toilet facility, the man was unable to find one in time. When the situation became uncontrollable, he allegedly urinated into a bottle while inside the lift.
Metro staff and security personnel were alerted by fellow passengers, after which action was taken.
Penalty imposed under metro law
Officials confirmed that the individual was fined under Section 59 of the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) Act for creating a public nuisance. Authorities added that necessary procedures were followed after the complaint was registered.
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation routinely imposes penalties for acts affecting cleanliness, passenger comfort, or public order inside metro premises.
Social media divided over incident
The incident sparked mixed reactions online. While some users expressed concern for the woman who filmed the encounter, others called for stricter enforcement of commuter rules.
