About a month after a Delhi Metro passenger faced serious flak online after letting his son urinate on the tracks, another video has surfaced of a man urination inside the coach. The man is seen squatting and relieving himself at the intersection of the coaches.
The viral clip has once again highlighted the lack of civic sense and hygiene among the countrymen, netizens said.
Reacting to the video, several X users asked why the man could not use the toilets in the Metro stations.
"All metro stations have restrooms. Get off the next one, do the thing. Get back on the next train. There's a reason they bar people from going towards the track: 750V DC. If that emission became a continuous laminar flow, the current could be quite unnerving?" wrote X user BNS (@SundarBN).
Another user, Jay Prakash Chauhan (@_Jay_Prakash) said, "Please don't post such video on internet, this is one of the reasons Indians are being insulted."
A few others wondered if the man had a chronic condition. "He might or might not have a kidney issue which can create extreme urge. In my personal experience, I have seen people from rural backgrounds behaving better in urban public spaces than city people," said Veetragi (@VeetragiVriksha). Another user Vikram Games (@VikramGames) added, "He was confirmed to be diabetic and could not control himself. A little empathy always helps."
Similar incident at Delhi Metro
In August, a video showing a man allowing his young son to urinate on the tracks at Delhi’s Inderlok Metro Station triggered widespread backlash on social media.
The 23-second clip, initially posted on Reddit’s r/Delhi subreddit before being removed for policy violations, resurfaced on platform X, where users condemned the father’s actions as “highly uncivilised”. The video shows the child urinating at the platform edge moments before a train’s arrival, while the father stands nearby. A bystander films the incident, audibly criticising the act: “Inhe koi sharam nahi aa rahi. Public space mein, Inderlok metro station pe, ye apne bachche ko susu karwa rahe hain (They have no shame. They are making their son urinate in a public space.. At Inderlok metro station).”
The footage also captures a man—believed to be a Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) staffer—approaching the father to question him. The man responds briefly before walking away with the child.
While many users demanded penalties for the father’s conduct, others pointed to the lack of accessible public toilets at metro stations as a contributing factor. “This is a failure of infrastructure as much as it is of civic sense,” an X user wrote.
